I paid very close attention to your post. You apparently suffer from a common misconception, and that is that just because an animal is shot that they immediately tip over and die. Taint so, and never has been. I've seen (gun) heart shot deer run a mile, and I've seen arrowed deer tip over on the spot. And the converse is also true. Just because he's using a bow doesn't make it a cruel and lingering death. As with a gun, bad placement is what guarantees that. Placement is everything.
