Words of wisdom from Big Chief: Flush twice, it's a long way to the Mess Hall
I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

Yeah, that was a pretty sad affair. And I did it again the next year, simply because that's the only way to get bison meat at a "fairly reasonable" price (a relative thing, if there ever was one, I tell ya).
I won't be doing it again.
If you shoot for blood long enough, there's invariably going to be a shot or three you wish you could call back. Since the end result of the bison shoot was exactly what I was after, I can't place them in that category, but they're pretty darned close.

Oh...in case you're wondering. If you eat two bison in two years, your taste for bison meat will probably decrease substantially. Personally, I'd rather eat my rubber soled Danner's than another bison steak.

Correct
When the Dr./ CEO/ Random Rich Guy hangs the antlers on the wall and regales his guests with the story of how he harvested it. You know......
"I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach.
I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them.
You know, you kind of play the wind.
Then........ it becomes unethical.
Oh, I didn't take it as a slight at all, Paul. In fact, I thought it very gracious of you to point out that I'd never called it a "hunt" at all.
And while I'll certainly agree that harvesting an animal by the method I took these two bison is ethically no different than slaughtering a steer on a ranch, still......were it not for the meat that went in the freezer, I'd happily call those shots back. It was just.....well....sad. And I'm not an overly sentimental guy.
