Indeed. No matter how ethical and well-intentioned, you will end up (like everyone else) having some poor shots or misjudgements which end up wounding animals you thought you would kill cleanly. Then you might not be able to find them afterwards, despite your best attempts. That doesn't make you unethical, just human. But maybe you will have climbed down from that high horse after some more experience.

Hi GB, Massive asked me a direct question which i answered honestly....my 'rant' wasn't about wounding an animal, one day that will happen to me too.....

my 'rant' was about the said trophy hunter claiming an animal he didnt kill...simple as that!
