Everyone always wants to get the big buck with the big rack, but it's really the younger animals that are the best eating. If you are hunting for food, go after the yearlings, not the big racks.
But I think the kill should be as certain and painless as possible.
These weird creative ways to kill things where the animal pays the price in pain and suffering if you miss are not good.
Nothing to be proud of.
If you want to test your spear skills do it with a target.
How many times did you injure an animal's only to have it suffer in pain until you could track it and kill it before you got this shot...which still was painful for the animal.
Survival skills are best trained in real situations. Targets don't listen or move.
Animals should be dealt with humanely, but there are limits... we don't care about a fish's pain when we hook it's lip and drag it around... traps leave animals in pain and shock/fear for hours/overnight but are still essential methods of hunting game.
The thing about being human is knowing when you are being unnecessarily cruel.
Practical hunting is always a bloody, painful, and messy thing.
Me and my son was in the woods hunting and we split up and I hadn't seen him for a while. I shot a buck and paralyzed it at the hips and it was trying to crawl away and I ran and jumped on its back and slit its throat. My son came out of the bushes and was like "WTF I've never seen anything like that who are you?" lol I said I told you that I'm a bad mothafucker, son. Git yer ass over here and help me gut it, boy
I did the same thing on an interstate highway. I came up on a woman who had hit a deer and it was trying to crawl away with broken legs/hip. I put it out of its misery. I waited with her until the HP showed up. That was back when we only had CB radio to get in contact with the law. The lady was both appalled and in awe. I think she would have accepted a marriage proposal on the spot.
My dad shot a deer once a thought it was dead. When he straddled it and started to cut it's throat to bleed it out it jumped up and took off through the woods with him on its back. He had to cut it's throat while riding it.
It happens. I waited out a buck I'd shot one time and thought he was dead but when I got right up on him he jumped up and tried to gore me. I shot him in the face with my handy dandy .45.
I enjoy the entire experience. Hunting primitively is the best way imo, you really earn that dopamine when you've been low-crawling and sneaking up on rabbits to get a mere 15-20 yards away.
Where I live the rabbits know humans = death, so they run before you even see them.
I've always believed that if someone is hunting/fishing for food they should be able to use any means necessary to obtain their food. It always seemed ridiculous to me that folks can't go catch a mess of fish to eat without jumping through government hoops.

Deer will stop external bleeding once they gain cover. Some humans can't even manage that strategy.

Was present for a kill that went sideways at a nearby ranch. Hog was screaming. Shooter panicked and noped out.
I calmly drew a sidearm and brained it right there and then.
Mrs. Fash told me later she had to wring her panties out after witnessing that.

I've always wanted to try that. Bow hunting is hard enough (for a chump like me anyway).
Also, heads-up, it's not a legal means of take in most US states.
OklahomaNebraska (thanks for the correction, @SumerBreeze ) seems to be the place, if this is something that interests you.*Edit: Changed Oklahoma to Nebraska. Acknowledged correction.

That's actually what got me into hunting in the first place. Saw a video of some dude accomplishing that very feat.
Only later did I learn that it's not legal in most places.

My greatest boast is the time I used a ball from a bearing in one of my wife's old dish towels to tag a fox that was going after my chickens.
I'll probably never top that, but I'm ok with that!
I want to spearchuck a deer, I can get away with it here since we are so far away from anyone else that cares.

She stewed the meat, gave the entrails to the dogs.
The stew was OK, we have a few recipes now. The foxes don't come close anymore now that we have a pack of dogs between the four families here.

There was one sniffing around my in-law's coop a while back.
Pretty sure the neighbors got him and I'll hit you up for one of those recipes if I manage to bag one.

The euros eat fox more often than I thought.
There's a Cajun recipe from the Francois-niggers in "Loosianna" that sound enticing as well.
If/when you get one let me know and I'll be asking how the recipe tasted. I might hunt the bastards from time to time just to try new flavors
