Re: Mark Sullivan Film "Shot to Death"

In reply to:
Guys, what don't you get here, he wants the animal to charge, that's why he walks in on a wounded buffalo. It either charges or runs away. The same with Hippo's and they are not wounded when he walks into their flee or fight zone. Nothing unethical about that, just plain ballsy.

Perhaps it hasn't been stated clearly enough in the other posts, so I'll take a stab at it.
Ethically, most of the guys here are real hunters and share an obligation to put the animal down as quickly as possible with as little suffering by the animal as possible.
At least that's how most of us were taught to hunt.
The problem with the argument above has nothing to do with "balls" it's about intentionally overlooking that obligation to minimize the animal's suffering in exchange for monetary gain.
In effect, profiting from the animal's unnecessary suffering.
With all due respect, what don't you get about that simple principle?
As for standing in the way of anything that's not wounded, although that sounds more like intentional "trick shooting" I see nothing unethical about that. Smart? Not really, but not unethical either.
