It's all about respect for the game animal being hunted. Seeing animals in a death throe is never hilarious IMO, and is always something that we try to avoid. In a perfect kill, an animal would drop in it's tracks without any sign of struggle but that usually only happens with frontal head shots.As you mentioned, there are very few instantaneous kills. Those are typically spine/brain shots, which are typically not taken as there is much less margin for error. A perfect kill to me is something as quick as is reasonably possible. These shots are typically chest shots, and the animal is dead within seconds. Sometimes they do "things" within those few seconds. There is no disrespect intended toward the animal.

Are we REALLY worried about the "High Ethics" of a clean kill of a chicken thief? ??? So how is a Piss Poor shot on a Yote different than snaring one or legholding one? I realize these are illegal methods, i think they should be legal... :twocents: The only way to make a dent in Yote populations it to trap intensively and and shoot every one you see....While the reason I hunt them as hard as I do is to give the pheasants a break, I still respect them, and have grown to respect them even more after having come to understand them much better from hunting them. I wait until I have a good shot. If I don't have a good shot, I don't shoot. That's just my program. Not telling anyone else what to do.

I dont think that mangy yote was ever worried about the quick kill as he was eating a new born calf while it was still alive. I show respect to animals when I can but come on a coyote?

Wholly Molly!!!! What's the difference between a coyote, deer, elk, moose, duck, goose or any other animal? As far as I know, it does exactly what it was put on this earth for... eating, crapping and making more coyotes. So, you're questioning a coyote's ethics because it doesn't have the intelligence to make quick, clean and ethical kills in order to survive. Because it's not a "glamorous" animal, it should be given less respect? As a responsible and educated sportsman, I really hope that you were kidding with your above statement.
