My take,he is an asshole.
I was in hunt clubs decades ago,same minded assholes.
About twenty years back I found ground where I and one friend hunted by ourselves .
None of that crap.
Humane kills with careful slow well placed shots.
Brush hunting s o b's I hate that is mostly why I hunt alone as my friend parted ways on some of his shit.

Back when I was teaching my boys how to field dress deer I shot several in the head so that there would not be any blood or damage to the body cavity so that they could see where I was cutting and what to avoid.

If I think I can shoot a deer in the head, I'll shoot it in the head.
