Most of the hunting accidents around here are "city" people coming out with only the weekend to hunt and they get desperate to get a "kill". The guys around (all farmers) know the drill and don't go out without their orange on and have been handling guns all their lives so there are not too many cattle, horses shot. It is the ones who have the attitude that pets are just animals and do not deserve to be protected or feral animals either. I don't hold with killing creatures unless they are a threat to me or mine and maybe if I was starving but then I probably could find enough plants and berries to eat. Don't think I could ever look them in the eye and pull the trigger. Yes, you do have a point. because of the extreme dry here (over 2 months), a lot of animals are dying, especially deer. Many are getting pneumonia from breathing in so much dust and so many gaher at the few ponds left that mosquitos are spreading blue tongue like crazy. I would rather see a deer die a quick death from a shot than see them linger on for days in paini. Assumiong the hunter knows how to shoot and if necessary will spend the time to track the wounded deer down and put it out of it's misery.
