[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1416489, member: 4191"] I would have been banned from hunting long ago if a poor shot with an arrow was the litmus test. We started hunting with recurves before compound bows were invented. I remember shooting wood arrows. No sights. No mechanical releases. Only pieces of metal equipment was the Bear broadhead and the steel snap on the leather three finger shooting glove. The good ole days. o_O Back when men were men, and hunting was a lot less comfortable. Had the Michigan woods to ourselves during archery season. Misses were as common as hits, and bad hits were part of the hunt. That's the way it was. I'm not very critical of a poor hit, because it will happen for any variety of reasons. Maybe the TV programs should be sanitized. No doubt the majority of them are. Large bodied game can spoil overnight if left in the field dead overnight, even in cool temperatures. The larger the animal the greater the risk of it. Large bull moose can spoil overnight even if they've been gutted, but not skinned to release the body heat, before leaving them out overnight. And a spoiled moose is a LOT of spoiled meat. I MUCH prefer shooting a bull moose in the morning, compared to evenings. [/QUOTE]
