But I remember hearing that Native Americans could get close enough to touch deer and other game. It makes me wonder if they too considered it unethical to shoot game from 50 yards out.
They were hunting with spears and very weak arrows with primitive points, and wanted to make sure they recovered the game in order to survive
They weren't doing it to post a Youtube bragging about their shooting prowess and the cost of their equipment

I'm honored to have a Native American hunter and traditional weapons maker to count among my friends--I believe characterizing their weapons as weak and primitive is misleading at best and condescending at worst. Who has the most skill--the hunter that can take what is readily available to him using only his intimate knowledge of nature to effectively hunt or the one that relies on sophisticated technology to take down a target at a stand-off distance?
