Moreover, take a look at the blood pouring from that camel's side. He was already shot with one arrow. A second arrow finished him.
From what I gather from the video, four camels were killed. Three were on their feet when shot. The forth was finished on the ground. The camel tipper was actually trying to save his arrow (arrows are expensive in Oz). The threewhich were walked up to were hit with arrowspreviously. The fourth was stalked. The hunter used available cover and made a great shot (it was the camel laying downwhich came toit's feet). It's hard to speculate any approach or hunting prowess prior to what is shown in the video. Could it be this video shows the coup de grace?

Hi fellow Hunters, Clemo from OZ here.
Interesting topic.
I find it rather humorous to read what some of you think constitutes hunting, or rather doesn't constitute hunting. I have no dout that if an unexperienced hunter was placed in that harsh environment he or she would perish long before they ever got the chance to "walk up" and arrow one of those tame camels.
The uninitisted may think that sitting in a tree stand is not really hunting but simply waiting for the animal to present you with an oportunity, rather than creating one. But the experienced would say different. Wouldn't they?
Cheers Guys and Girls.
Great site by the way.

G'day and Happy New Year from "down under".
I guess I would like to think that most people would not make generalising assumptions about Australia and Australian hunters/hunting based on the footage of one short clip.
In similar fashion that I'm sure you'd not like us to make generalisations about your country from other short clips... such as this one for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww [&:]
The narrow mindedness of some of the comments in this thread have left me speechless, whilst the maturity and experience in others has been inspiring.
Good hunting.

As far as hunting them, I could care less as long as its legal.
