[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1027640, member: 28854"] In the best interest of the animal, LOL! In the best interest of the animal I would submit that he shouldn't have shot it! He stated right out on the video that he killed him at last light. You're now putting way too much into your defense of the guy because nothing was obvious other than the two good shots he made on it! In print it said they were going up to find him and couldn't because it got dark. We have no idea if he spent 5 minutes or 5 hours on that. Yep, he put some serious time and miles in and so have I in the 20+ years I've hunted in Wyoming and it also wasn't out in the prairie. Cripes, just this year a friend shot this one right at last light at 590 across a deep canyon two miles from the truck. It took until after 9PM to go over to find and dress him out properly so he would cool over night. Then we went back the next morning and the two of us brought the first load out up and down that canyon and then up hill 2 miles all the way to the truck. We then got two more friends and went back for the second load and got it all out at 5:30PM that night. That was at least 8+ miles for me and I'm 67 for Pete's sake! That's exactly why I'm saying they shouldn't have shot it if they had to go through that God forsaken jungle that he commented on saying his buddies didn't know what they were getting into! Go ahead and defend him all you want, but the only good comment I can give is on the shots themselves. [/QUOTE]
