    With enough support from hunters, saying this is not ethical, their business will soon be gone, along with their money. Anyone who promotes a "test shot" on an animal has no care about wounding an animal.

    When we all started hunting, we were taught quick as possible and clean as possible, kills. Get as close as you can, so you KNOW you will make the shot and have little or no chance of wounding it.

    Now these guys are teaching, don't try and get any closer, back up and see how far you can kill it from. If you miss the first shot, try again, if you wound it, don't worry about the animal that is going to suffer.

    Disgusting. The distance, the miss, the child shooter, the disrespect for the animal (you smoked him!).

    I say past 500 yards and your not hunting anymore.

    If you wound that animal, you're over a kilometer away. That elk can travel a loooong way by the time you get to where he WAS. Good luck finding him after that.

    I think a lot of credit here goes to the guides and the father.
    Kid just pulled the trigger.

    Credit for what? Being able to show the kid how to possibly wound an animal? He F*&%ING missed!

    Yeah didn't like it. Sure the kid is a good shot hitting a gong at 1300 but to shoot an animal that far away is B.S.
    The guides and the father need a small slap. Like keoke said that is not hunting.

    Credit for finding the animal and setting the scope.
    I do agree that this shot is not necessarily what we should be teaching kids to do.
    Hopefully they had enough man power to track that elk if they wounded it.
