The argument that bow-hunting is not as "clean-kill" as gun-hunting is totally bogus. Bow-hunting has a different ethos than gun-hunting. The two basic rules of bow-hunting are "Be patient and wait for the right shot," and "If you don't get a clean kill, you have to track the animal down and finish the job, even if it takes all day." That stands in stark contrast to the "ethos" of most gun-hunters which seems to be "Blast away at anything that moves," and "If you wound an animal, track it for thirty minutes then say, 'Screw it! It's just a deer. There'll be another one along tomorrow.'"
