Default your opnion

Could you please look at this vid on youtube and give your honest opinion ?
I am in a discussion with the shooter and IMHO I think it's a case of bad shot placement and pushing both shots too soon.
I could be wrong......

I don't know too much about shooting hogs. As a general rule, I take any reasonable follow-up that is available. The first arrow certainly appear lethal so he probaby could have waited.

Never hunted hogs and don't know how thier vitals are,but IMO both shots where quartering shots and IMO that it self is not a good shot,doable but not prefered. With the animal in the open as he was I think I would have waited for a broadside shot.but thats just my hillbilly opinion.

I care, PETA cares, animal activists care.....
I think living in a small overpopulated country where everybody watches you hunt, ethics and public opinion have become an important factor in hunting. When we apply for a huntinglicence we are tought ethics, how to take an animal in a way that public opinion and animal activists aren't offended. And the animal gets a fair chance without unneccesary suffering.

Don't worry about what PETA thinks, they think they are all bad shots. Quartering away is a good shot that was just a tad back. The followup shot seemed to help too, in that position you need to take what you can get before it charges you. I wouldn't criticize this guy, finishing the animal was the important thing.

just take a look at any of the vids the guy posted, there's bad shots in every one of them.
Just because you wacked a lot of pigs, that doesn't make you a hunter, it makes you a butcher.
Like I said, the few animals I've taken didn't need two arrows and I didn't spend my afternoon looking for them or waiting them to die....
This guy wouldn't be a hunter in western Europe, he would find himself being banned on most of the hunting properties.....
I all so think his bow is badly tuned because of the way the arrows don't penetrate the hogs he's hitting ( see, I didn't start of by saying his shotplacement sucks ) But on these kind of subjects he doesn't reply.
If I were to film my own hunts, I would make sure it was a clean kill, always. Or I wouldn't film myself before I was sure I could take decent shots.........
But hey, you're right, one dead pig, who cares..............
