Didn't test your broad head, thought a 60 yard shot on a nervous/scared animal was ethical, then took an 80, then took a 100. I'd suggest setting an ethical maximum and never violating it regardless of the situation. Shooting a bow at a live animal at 60 is super questionable. It's doable, but so much of that is out of your control. Regardless of how many ten rings you can hit at 60, that animal is going to be able to move so much it makes it unethical.

Awesome video bud, as a hunter/Fisher we've all made those mistakes, everyone I know has made a split second decision and wounded an animal. Even with rifle we need to know our limits, sometimes it's hard to control our excitement and anticipation. Takes a man to admit publicly their faults shows your character, your parents should be proud to have a raised a man and not a boy. Hunt/fish on bud

STOP BRO! Beat yourself up a little yes, we all do. but it's not that big a deal. I know that makes me sound crapy but. a fifteen yard, broad side shot can and dose go wrong. That's part of traditional hunting. The second your arrow leaves the bow anything can happen. Pick that stick and string back up and get after it. Put that experience in your back pocket and keep up the grind my man.

Very stand up guy! Wounding an animal is very hard to deal with. Im glad he was found and did not suffer! Times have changed though. when I started bow hunting. a 40 yard shot was same as a mile away. now bows are so much more powerful and reliable. Awesome video!

I really respect that you even posted about this. You didn't have to, no one would've known. But it seems like it's important to you that we learn from your situation, and thats very mature of you and we all appreciate that of you.

I've wounded deer twice. Almost stopped hunting. My scope on my rifle was out of adjustment. I ended the season with that and next year resighted my scope. BUT that being said. I really HATE trophy hunting on safaris. I hate this.

First, I very much enjoy your videos. Next, I was very disappointed seeing you take those shots! It's a BOW not a rifle. In reality any shot over 40yards is on the unethical side. 50 is streaching it!
