I am not in the least thin skinned Dan.

I just happen to think that it is a disgusting stunt, performed by people who would not dream of attempting it without firearm backup.

I would rate it along with sticking a 40 grain solid from a .22 Hornet through an Ele's ribcage and waiting for it to die of blood loss just so the record counts. Totally inhumane and dispicible.

Of course we won't talk about the ones that run off once stuck in the wrong place, far out of bow range and faster than a human can travel, still look on the bright side, they might eventually die of gangerene and because no firearm was involved, they will count for the record book as well.

Welcome to the forum.

I hope you will not mind if I argue the point a bit. The difference between a properly placed arrow in an ele's chest and a properly placed bullet seems to be the time that elapses until the ele expires. If that is true, then where is the line (in terms of minutes elapsed) between a humane kill and an inhumane kill?
