I wish I knew who said it first, but I don't hunt in order to kill animals; I kill animals in order to have hunted. (Anyone know the source?)
It's too bad that so many animals die lingering deaths due to the necessity of many hunters to have killed something.
Hunting is the goal of a hunt, and taking a badly presented shot hoping to make up for the fact that a good hit is unlikely by shooting some earsplittengoloudenboomer of a rifle results in much suffering by game animals.
We hunters need to learn to relax about the necessity of a trophy in order to make a hunt worth the money spent.
