I think that we have a duty to the animals we hunt to do so in the most humane way possible. An adequate tool for the job and sufficient skill to use it to the best of our ability. I always take a good tracking dog along too, especially when hunting sika deer. I have taken the heart out of one of those with a 162 grain bullet from a 7 x 64mm and still seen them run over 100 yards. Easy to think you have missed as they never seem to even flinch. I sometimes wonder how many 'missed' deer are not followed up because of the lack of a good dog. Lagopus.....
