You're not paying for a stay at the Hilton, you're paying to participate in nature. Anything can happen.
I work part time so I can hunt full time

That is a terrible video that should not have been shown. The kid got lucky as the shot angle was impossible. His reaction after the shot shows he was not aiming for the artery because he was stunned at the blood. That shot was almost guaranteed to hit the trachea which would have been days of agony for that elk until it starved to death. A straight on shot at that range may have been acceptable for a excellent archer and seasoned hunter but that was disgusting. Whoever is mentoring that kid should have his license taken away. Makes you wonder how many animals get wounded every year because people are willing and being taught to take shots like that. I'm sure they are not being publicised and the hunting community should not be accepting of shots like this. :crazy:

Holy being a bit hard on the kid I would say ? Most would have waited I guess because of ethics that is preached but it wasn't an impossible shot and the kid proved it . A one shot kill is what is desired and that's what it was . To say its discusting is a bit " anti " and then to say the kids mentour should have his license taken away ? You support poachers getting second chances and being on tv but a clip that appears to show a young hunter not breaking any laws you find discusting ?

I'm not being hard on the kid at all Shane. He is a product of what he was taught. After the elk was shot I hope everyone congratulated the kid and then explained to him what he did so he understands he got lucky and does not try it again. If he had been taught properly he would not have considered taking that shot in the first place. To spread the video around with everyone complimenting the shot only leads to more people thinking it is OK to take shots like that. As far as I am concerned, teaching a kid to take shots like that is the same as teaching him to poach. Animals will be wounded and not recovered which is stealing game from the rest of the ethical hunters out there. How many animals does an unethical hunter waste before he gets one that he puts a tag on? Does it make it OK because only the video of the ones that are recovered are posted?

There are lots if things that are not ok but seems to be accepted . Seasoned bow hunters that practice 100 yard shots seem praised for there skills . Also seasoned bowhunters do a poor shot and then have to find there buck the next day after the coyotes have consumed it only to pose with the head isn't out of the ordinary .
The kid is 13 , he has a bull elk coming in at a close distance , he has a camera man filming , lot of pressure . The kid waited for the bull to stop and took the shot that presented itself and lucky or not killed it . I see no difference than a rifle hunter taking a 400 yard shot , where luck is involved as well .

I agree with everything you said Shane. That seems to be the problem, that those things that you are talking about are accepted. No one can change the past but everyone can learn from it and hopefully stop this general acceptance of unethical behavior. I don't have a problem with bow hunters practising 100 yrd shots on targets. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN THEY TAKE 100YRD SHOTS WHILE HUNTING!
