Saw the same thing a couple of other times later, too.
At a SHOT Show several years ago, a manufacturer of (IIRC) hunters' scents was showing a videotape of a similar hunt. I watched for a while, until the tape came to a similar event, and The Mighty Hunter � like the first one � made light of what he'd done.
The other was a famous bowhunter �
not Fred Bear or Chuck Adams � who did the same thing with an elephant. Wouldn't let his professional hunter administer a
coup de gr�ce when the elephant stumbled away and finally fell. The video was more important, you see, and the elephant wasn't going to go anywhere.
