And a good point it is..

In this case there was no need to take a bad shot, the pig was in the clear and he only needed to wait for a better shot. Wasn't like the pig was going anywhere It seemed to me he was taking the shot at the rear end. There wasn't much of a shot at the lungs from what I could see atleast nothing I would shoot at. To shoot or not to shoot that was the situation. Patients

I repeat, you cant judge anything about how long the guy "let the animal suffer" because you are getting less than 30 seconds of the entire ordeal. For all we know, that pig was finished with another shot off right after the video stopped, and it died in less than 30 seconds from the original shot. How the hell is that letting the animal suffer any longer than what many of you feel would be an ethical shot? Ive hit deer in the lungs before and had them run for alot longer than 30 seconds before they expired. You guys are just doing way too much assuming. The only things that can be taken away are that the guy chose what some (including myself) feel was not the best shot, he was an idiot for the laughing and letting the dog go, and although it wasnt the best shot it did put the animal on the ground. The rest is nothing but conjecture, intent on shot placement, ethics included. Oh, and for those that say you have never made a bad shot, you are either full of it or havent hunted long enough. It happens to everyone at some point.

you are 100% correct biggame

You know what happens when you assume!!!!! Hahahaha good call...not really!

Well from what I can see on this I wouldn't call this a Texas heart shot. Whe someone uses that term I picture a straight away shot. Looked more like a trigger jerk by a jerk on a hard quartering away. At 85 yards there was plenty of window there to get into the boiler room. If that pig had been straight away he would have gone in a heap. That would be like hitting center of brisket on a quartering to shot. no vitals hit. That will be one messed up ham on that pig. It should have had a follow up shot and I could do without the whole dog sceen. I have never been a big fan of dog use on larger game but there are regions of the country that it is the norm. just not my cup of tea.

So you think all that after-shot activity was just the involuntary spasms of the animal's death throes. Maybe you had better take a second look. Yeah, that pig was dying all right and it was a lot more drawn out than it had to be because of irresponsible shot selection.

So how many of the deer you guys have shot have flopped around for 10 seconds or more after a shot to the lungs or liver or when you spined it? That pig was dying and to sit here and make assumptions about what happened after the 10 or 15 seconds it showed is pretty asinine.

The SOB does need to be shot in the ass himself; and then laughed at.

As a hunter that disgusts me. I think a lot of people forget that we owe the animals we hunt a certain level of respect. Not to mention the negative publicity for hunters everywhere. We'll never change the anti's minds but behavior like this has the potential to make up the minds of a lot of the previously undecided public. Especially the "hunter" laughing in the background.

Rubbed some ultimate bear lure from wildlife research center up and down the tree. Apparently it works.

correct me if im wrong, but i thought red oaks produced bi-anually and white oaks produced annually...yield was more dependent on how wet the spring was??? again, could be wrong.
