Because anyone who gives a fuck about life doesn't torture it or put it through misery for fun or to post some shit online. Especially animals, pretty much at our whim and incapable of bad will, deserve better. You owe them a clean kill, you owe it to them to use all of that meat. Otherwise, leave 'em alone.
Gutshot, and proud of it enough to show off. Damn.
Strykervet: I'm NOT trying to pick a fight but here is my take on this.
I don't think that deer suffered much of anything, if at all. Why? Because what you're looking at is damage so massive that shock and system overload most likely killed that beast in a matter of a few short seconds, if even that.
I think that just about everyone here has seen lung shots that cause deer to bleed out and suffer massively before dying. Having to track a wounded deer through the brush is a very typical hunting activity. And who hasn't heard stories of wounded deer or elk that ran off after being shot to never be found -or- to be shot and killed by a second hunter miles away? Which is more humane, the "instantaneous system overload & shut down" death, or the long drawn out run-till-you-can't-breath-or-bleed-anymore death?
If that was a rock chuck, ground hog or a prairie dog, most everyone here would be commenting about how awesome the shoot and bullet performance was.
If that was a towel-headed Afghan, most everyone here would be cheering. Instead, it's a deer.
But most importantly: All of this is regardless to the fact that the OP posted the picture knowing that the shot placement sucked but was
intended to demonstrate the explosive powers of Bubba Bullets (Powell River Labs and now Dynamic Research Technologies tungsten powdered core bullets) on tissue.
This is not a "Look how much I made a deer suffer" picture. This is a picture of a bad shot that demonstrates
the incredible and unique wound channels of the tungsten powdered core bullet technologies. The OP is one of America's best. He posted this picture to demonstrate a point, not to brag.
Nobody anywhere else shoots bad!
