I wasn't referring to the OP or the video, just trying to respond to Ringman with an explanation of what people mean when they talk about respect for animals we're putting bullets into.

But come to think of it, shooting at an animal without regard to whether you kill it cleanly or just wound it comes pretty close to "disdain" in my estimation. If that first shot clean miss had been a little better it would've been a poor hit, and chances are they'd never have gotten the second shot or recovered the elk.
