In defense of Wynwood, he stated earlier that he used a big bore rifle as his back up weapon and would have no hesitation in using it as such if the game turned. I hope he didn't mean a 45-70. I think Bowhunters tend to think pretty highly of themselves as hunters though. Granted, to correctly stalk and kill an animal with a bow you need good skill. Unfortunately I would say the average Bowhunters do not possess this skill. Here in WA some of the Elk areas have been closed to Bows because of the numbers of wounded animals that were lost to die and not recovered. One local yokel bragged about 'sticking' 5 animals before he killed one. I remeber a Ted Nugent video of his shooting a Rhino with a bow. After putting a couple of arrows in it and leaving it for the next day they used a Helo to find it. He put a couple of more arrows in it and then turned to the camera and said screw it. He took a .375 and finished it. He stated that a bow was of insufficent power to cleanly take a Rhino. I always admired his honesty and the fact that he did not edit the tape as some other have done. |
