Adam was the driver of the truck. He would drop them and pick them up after they walked through an area. His kid was along for the ride. Again he was not the hunter.....the other guys were. They scouted/hunted the bull for weeks hoping to get it. Just found it in a place close to the road. Not ideal but a big 6X6 you have been chasing/watching for weeks and there he is on land you have permission for.....Just sayin'. They did not just happen to drive by and go.....O'crap, theres a bull by the side of the highway, BANG! Just happened that way.
You arguement seems about the same as stating "I am not going to shoot that whitetail in the field I have been chasing all season.....that is not sporty enough. Lets let him get into the trees and I will go after him there". Or for those who dont hunt. "Lets not fish within 100yards of the hatchery as the fish will be stuck there.....not sporty enough". I doubt many here follow that way of thinking but I see the point of it being close to the road. You just need to know how much work they put in prior chasing this one bull.....it makes a difference in the story or at least it should.
