Also, any animal shot with a bow will not be eligible for any record book if it has been has also been shot by a firearm. I would personally kick my hunters butt if he shot any of my animals as backup unless it was absolutely necessary.
Bravery or the lack of it did not figure in my thoughts. Pokeing a hole in an sentinent creature with a pointy stick and waiting for it to blead to death when a rifle shot to the brain would finish the act in seconds does.
Faceing an animal with a firearm or bow does not rate in my books a bravery.
The lads that defuze IED's in Iraq and Afganistan are brave. The rest of us may get an adreniline rush from hunting but "Brave" , not even close.
