[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1026768, member: 13632"] We can all sit here and armchair quarterback the whole thing, bottom line it's not your hunt, not your shot and not your recovery so you don't really know what did or did not happen beyond what is shared with us. Your all worried about the impression it gives, well your setting the tone for non hunters to look at it and judge hunting as a whole, do you honestly want your hunt judged on the music you listen to or the hat you wear or by one little phrase, if we won't judge our fellow hunter based on facts rather than feeling and personal bias then we have little hope of making our case to the public as a whole!! You have ZERO way to know what effort was put into finding that bull that night, I hunt stupid easy stuff to find an elk in and I recover a lot of elk a year in the same area year after year, when I pull the trigger a recovery plan is already rolling. In an unfamiliar area, back in and in what looks like a crappy spot and then with a bull rolled on his back up against a log, I would say not an easy thing, often times it's the horns you pick up. We don't know the situation, if any of us would have been with him we may have made the same call, we don't have the fact so you'd have to make that judgement based on assumptions. You say leave a guy back, how do you know they didn't, you don't do you so your left to make a pile of assumptions to make an ethical judgement with on a public forum, again setting the bar for non hunters to judge all our hunts on. I know guys who think quartering a bull is border line unethical as it wastes meat, they'll only take them out whole but that is a personal ethic that has no bearing on hunting as a whole. We all have personal likes and dislikes but we should be able as rational beings to separate personal stuff from the hunting community as a whole. Heck the guy says something in what I took a moment of relief that he was right where they left him the last time he saw him, we can all take that comment in multiple ways, so why do you assume that it's because he did something wrong, is it because of how he personally rubs you? Don't you want your hunting to be judged in the court of public opinion based on facts, no feeling, personal expression or tastes? That facts as presented are a clean kill and the meat went out on their backs, EXACTLY how it leaves with every one of us!!! [/QUOTE]
