[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5500327, member: 2805"] Watch the originally released video... it was 100% low gut shot, missed point of aim by 18 inches or so, well behind liver. Terrible shot, Tyler admits on video multiple times it was a terrible shot. But that stuff happens. 100% lethal shot, but gonna take the buck 8-18h to die. In the released production video, they go back to the lodge, review the footage, eat supper, then take up the track. And just magically find the buck laying dead in the water like they are the greatest trackers of all time, and leaving the public to assume the deer ran for a few seconds after the shot and expired humanely. Then the cell phone video comes out revealing they had dogs unintentionally push the wounded deer into the lake trying to escape. Then shoot it in the neck (which was probably not remotely lethal). What we don't see on any video is it probably took another hour of the buck swimming for it's life becoming gradually weaker and finally drowning and die. Just a terrible situation for the deer, but in my opinion the hunters did the best they could with such a horrible initial shot. Then the icing on the cake.... pics of the buck the next day in the sun all dried out and prettied up and posed. Sun up enough for Tyler to need sunglasses. Perhaps they field dressed the gut shot deer (which will spoil MUCH faster than a chest shot deer), hung him in a walk in cooler all night, then pulled him out of the cooler for the photo ops... but I doubt it. So my gripe with this whole situation is they completely misrepresented the hunt as a clean/ ethical kill, which could not have been further from the truth- that's often human nature to misrepresent events to make yourself look better. Their recovery, while brutal and bordering on inhumane, was about the best option they had in that situation. But if they didn't care for the meat just for photo ops.... well, to me that is simply unforgivable. [/QUOTE]
