Came to this by accident not nice. Who could do anything like this, & not follow up?

Interesting that they didn't use a broadhead or other hunting tip...that would have killed it.

[GreenSteve]

thats why hunting is bad
if you shoot at something you should kill it not leave it to suffer

[Thunk]

I can't imagine why someone would want to kill the bird in the first place - sick, in my opinion.

There's always one A*se H*le, that will drag sport down, The only good thing about it is the stupid Ba*tard who shot it is missing an arrow and his dinner.

And probably more suffering for the bird to remove if infection doesnt get it first. But lets hope he/she who loosed the arrow left his initials in decals on the side to give the authorities something to go on. Having just come into archery and following a link on google some of the hunting videos on there are quite disturbing. Especially as Sky High mentioned about the broad heads and the damage they do! On one two deer locked in a scrap one was shot with one of these shot from a u/l compound bow at 20 yds. It immediately opened up a huge hole in its side initially 3 to 4" across it then took another 30 mins to die despite most of his innards falling out. They then had the problem of releasing the other buck for him to go free! The jubilation in their voice at the "good hit" was soon turning sour as they then realised they'd have to risk releasing the other one and the realisation got worse the longer the battle went on. Strangely there seemed to be no talk of dispensing the other buck (probably had only a licence for one) ! Interesting but not nice to experience either on video or first hand! There was none of the bravado at the end of the video there usually is thank god!

Thank God this was from the States and not Britain. This is exactly why I dont want Archery to be involved in any way with hunting in the UK. Can you imagin the reactoin of the Uk press and media if things like this happen here.

Americans are stupid. You should've already learned that with me around.
