this elk thought he could fly....

Now that is taking it back to the ancestors when they ran buffalo off the cliffs.  That is even more traditional than the long bow.

Wow, wish I could just smack that hunter along side the head with a 2x4.  Knock some damn sense into their thick skull.  That *censored* just pisses me off.  We have enough problems with the way we are perceived as hunters by the rest of the population.  We do not need this crap floating around on Youtube and other places.   

Poor ethics is just the start.

But tell me do you really want to smack him up side the head with a 2x4, just one time?? Or do you want to have him standing by a cliff and giving him the option to jump or get another one?? That is my thought.

I just can't figure out how someone so stupid was actually able to work the camera though. They are making them things way to easy to operate.

it looked to me like they shot the thing, it started to wobble and went off the cliff. i would think that the elk would run towards the hunter and up the cliff before it would jump. i dont see anything wrong with the hunt other than not having a good shot. the video was untrue and untasteful, but hey he thought he was cool.

he could have backed off kind of out of sight and waited for the elk to come back away from the edge and put it down with a second shot

Wow good job you homo that video makes me sick

[400out]

Ok here is my question does anyone see the elk jump off the cliff! I know I don't!  looks to me like he was trying to get to the other side and didn't quite make it

That is a crazy video

[furbearer365]

things happen in the woods that are of your control as a hunter but to put in on video and add music to it is as heartless as it comes. Why the hell did you even post that thing, are you  somewhat proud of it or did you think we would be more impressed than we are?

I'm not sure what ya'll are talkin about?  Maybe we have gotten conditioned to seeing people shoot critters on video and then high fiving and celibrating while watching it die... 

This isn't any different as far as i can tell...  Is it just that we have been conditioned to the other so much that something new pops up and we are "shocked"? 

You can find any hunting video of criters dying and people celebrating that the anti-hunters can pick and choose from...  they are gonna do it no matter what.

That was def a different kill scene and i'm sure the hunter didn't expect it to go that way.

Even though this video sickens me I keep coming back to read replies. I post a thread about respect of animals and photos and was called "yuppy" and that we worry to much about what the antis think. This was exactly what I was talking about. He shot elk. Elk goes out to edge. Either becomes weak and falls, or choices to jump. Not sure which. Not the important part. That where it should have ended. But NO some *censored* films it and puts on internet. Now everyone is up in arms.    What the difference in this and the kinda pictures I spoke of?

What is wrong with some people!? Shame on them for sharing that with the world. Morons.

[rasbo]

maybe it should be pulled,set a standard for the site

[deerhunter_98520]

the reason everyone is upset is theres no reason to post an elk jumping to his death...i know you cant see it all but the way it was portrayed in the video wasnt good on "our" image...the anti's look for any reason possible to throw it back at us....yeah all of the hunting shows have deer/elk/ bear being killed but there clean shots...they dont show animals being cornered on a cliff and them jumping off...like i said in a earlier post the hunter should have backed off and hoped the elk would have felt safe enough to back track from the edge to make another shot and put the elk down...im sure it happens more than we all think..but you dont see everyone posting it on youtube for the world to see....the hunter should have more respect for the animal than that...i know i would....ive been archery hunting elk for 6 years and have yet to harvest one...ive had plenty of opportunity for shots..they would have been very risky shots and i chose not to take them for fear of loosing the animal and having more respect for the elk
