Agreed DB,
There is a time and a place for everything. Occassionally it's called "wildlife management" and other times it's called "hunting". In all cases it needs to be done professionally and with the utmost care.

I'm kind of speechless, Growing up as kid hunting I was always taught to take a vital shot because it's the ethical thing to do as a hunter. I don't hold anything against you for posting it up but the guy that took the shot has no hunting ethics at all. All animals that get hunted deserve some respect with a kill shot. Anyway, good luck with what ever it is you guy's do over there.

I would hope Hunters that actually condone something like this are few and far between.

Just because you or me aren't an accurate enough shot to be certain we could make a clean kill DOES NOT mean the hunter in this clip doesn't have the ability.
It was a one shot kill. What is everyone freaking out about? I've seen deer run long distances with shots in the lungs, heart, liver, etc. I've never seen anything run with it's brains blown out! I think the argument could be made that a head shot is the most lethal shot placement. I do understand it has a small margin of error, but that doesn't make it unethical if you have the ability to hit within that margin.
