If the guide made the call he should also be on the hook in this case I would think. However some people can be very difficult and the hunter in this case might simply have shot the wrong animal. (The stories that could be told.....
Could have been a classic case of lack of time behind the scope and shot the first one he found in the uber-power view.)
