[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1602235, member: 13632"] I'm going to disagree about it not being up on youtube, here's why, that right there is a hunting reality, FUBAR happens but how you take care of it matters. Some how now we as a hunting community have bought into this liberal idea that any mistake or learning curve below perfection should result in excommunication and total destruction of the he persons involved. I can tell you that kind of mind set is as dangerous as just shoot up everything we see, look at our society today, we as a community have been forced into a type of #metoo mind set which will in the end condemn ALL of us who hunt because killing an animal is not pretty but it's real, gritty life if you choose to take your own meat. I don't disagree that it could have been done better BUT I also know I've had my own messes that I've cleaned up and that was a valuable part of learning to do things better. It's why I'm so insistent on elk about staying of the shoulder with less than a big 338, because I've seen just these results with 7:s and 30 cal magnums with so called premium hunting bullets, I'm also against high shoulder shots due to what we see with the second hit, can count the times I've heard and seen guy have elk get up or push themselves down hill a long ways with no front end. I've been through this same wreck and had to figure out how to not have a repeat, everyone around me knows if this happens I'm all about helping them sort it out then learn from it, I've had guys track me down in the mountains to help them when it went wrong on an elk, I've helped many guys get back on an animal and be able to cleanly finish the job, I've seen grown men not able to deal with the reality that they had a bad hit and not be able to get the job done and I find that sad, own it, get it done and the hunting community SHOULD support the effort to fix the issue. I can tell you that I here are a LOT of guys who instead of admitting something went wrong they walk away instead of facing it and I think this kind of reaction is why, any guy who has hunted a lot of elk and not had a pooch screw is so far in the minority that I'd say they are ignoring the times it's happened to them. Every missed shot you think you've had could be that first shot in the video!! [/QUOTE]
