Recovery of the animal (once successfully dispatched) is another ethical issue.
Even in "the old days" 10-15 years ago it was common to either see guys shoot unrecoverable Tahr, or find them on the hill. Many is the time I've passed up shots of 300-350M because the animal is unretrievable and the further away the animal is the harder it is to judge if you can reach it, will it fall into an unretreivable spot, or just be impossible to find.
Just because animals are plentiful just now is no excuse for waste (deliberate culling an exception).
