Ya my sentiments are like that, but if I would have chosen to kill it I would have at least used a high power rifle with real good ammo though.... somthing about having used 8 shots from a pistol and let that thing just suffer for 3 hours kinda irks me when one good .3006 or .308 woulda put it down allot faster. Kinda like using a .22 to put down a cow or horse... it's just not right.

Presonally I would have rather tracked it and captured it somehow... would have made a great display in a zoo somewhere I mean that thing is just amazing.
