[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1600640, member: 95344"] I'm sorry Snyder97 I didn't fully comprehend the scenario you were presenting. Here is my stance and actual hunting experience I had while bowhunting elk. It was my first elk bowhunt and I went out with a group. I had a "hair tag" which would allowed me to shoot at anything. But I passed on a chance of a cow with a calf at 15 ft that I called in. It was because I didn't know if I could shoot at a cow with a calf. In my area it was legal, in Alaska where I hunted Caribou it wasn't. And I didn't fully read the regulations so I passed on the shot. 10 minutes later I called in the bull, not huge but still respectable and I was excited. Right when I was about to shoot it I heard over the walkie talkie one of our group said he got a hit, but a bad one. So I passed on the shot. Why? Because I didn't want the chance of two possible poorly shot animals on our hunt. It's a personal preference with no real wrong answer. For me at my age I'd rather cut down the bad experiences, especially when I have control of the situation. The positive about my hunt? I got closer to elk first time out then most will ever get in their lifetime. 15ft! I'm good with that. So far Americans have the freedom to take a shot, or not to. Let's pray it stays that way.
