Great points Dave. Thank you for helping to expand my thinking. As I speak to others about the topic, i want to be able to influence them where i can. And, if they are so closed minded, at least i know that the points i am making are valid ones.
Cheers!

Great advice, thanks. I took a nice bwb male with a 10 meter broadside shot. The arrow went through both lungs and passed through completely. I watched him stagger for about 80 meters and then he just fell over dead. I wonder if the lungs are a bit further back than the photo indicates though...
Johnny,
Thanks for your response. You are correct; and elephant will feed a village for a long time. Perhaps I shouldn't have used that as an example.
However, to respond directly to you other point; I have been in a lot of rural and village settings across Africa in the past 10 years, and I...
Bob,
Thanks for sharing yours and your wife's story. It sounds to me like you BOTH truly had an experience that will last forever. I can relate to what you are saying, and it is why I started this thread; to hear these stories to help me get my brain around hunting species such as big cats. As...

How is that for a title? First, let me say that I AM NOT JUDGING ANYONE! I am a hunter; I love the bush and the experience of taking an animal. I love the taste of venison, and then mounting a trophy. That said, I don't ever see myself shooting an animal JUST...
Jaco...thanks. I ask because I ALMOST took a nice big waterbuck cow last week but then didn't because i wasn't sure of the meat, and didn't want to throw away R4000! Now i know.
All...i have heard lots of different opinions on whether or not waterbuck makes good venison. What are yoru thoughts? Y/N? If yes, how to prepare and what cuts should I use?
Took this blue wildebeest at last light, Shumba Safaris in Limpopo. Shot was at 10 meters, double lung complete pass through. He stumbled about 80 meters and went down.
My first kill with a bow! 2011 Malta Ranch outside of Tosca in NW. 10 meter heart shot, complete pass through. He only ran about 30 meters and just collapsed.
Took this beauty in 2012 at Malta Ranch outside of Tosca, NW province. She came in at around 6:00 PM. A 22 meter double lung shot. Not a drop of blood! I was worried! But, she expired in only 80 meters
