This video is garbage. As a hunter It's a disgrace to be associated with such behavior. That elk deserved better.
Fair chase should be central to our hunting ethics. If we compromise the ethics of our sport and it descends into nothing more than a chase for horns and self glorification on the internet at any cost, we erode the noble heritage that our sport is built on. To paraphrase Yvon Chouinard: The whole purpose of doing something difficult (in this case hunting a trophy elk) is to gain physical and spiritual growth, if you compromise the process you're an [bleep] when you start out and you're an [bleep] when you get back.
