I did not state Bullethole1 that tracking a hit animal was against the law. I questioned whether using an air gun was legal in the poster's State. I think most States do not allow air guns for deer.

I do believe most hunters would like as clean a kill as possible; although it does not always happen to perfection. None of us want game or wildlife to suffer.

But Yes, I do believe using an inappropriate weapon resulting in needless suffering to game is cruelty.

The guy in the video needs to join a track or football team. I have never seen anyone cover 30 yards as quickly as he did on the video. He appears he was only ten yards away from the target at the most. It is possible he shortened the video after shooting and moving to the target.
