Obviously the arrow placement could have been better, but crap happens and we don't always hit animals where we should. I'm guilty of that like many others. It's just a bummer that someone is sitting across the canyon taking pictures like these and then spreads them across the internet knowing full well that others will begin ripping into the hunter without any other information other than a couple photos to use to pass judgement.
It makes me think about all the situations I've been in when an animal may have been standing there or laying somewhere wounded before I could finish it off. At anytime someone else could quickly snap a photo of that animal and then post it all over the place in an effort to get some crap going on the internet. Even my wife's bull laid there for 15 minutes wounded before we got down there to finish it. How crappy would that be if someone was taking pictures of it wounded and then post them to the internet to try and make it appear that we're horrible, nasty hunters. Just sad that there are those out there who do it.
Congratulations to the successful hunter and shame on the unsuccessful guy for putting these photos out there. I see no reason for it other than to try and ruin the success of the successful hunter.
Wounded animals are not what most of us want to see, but it is part of hunting, so the photos aren't that big a deal to me. My issue is what I believe the goal was in these photos being put out there.
