If a man shoots an elk in the woods without his wife there to see it, is he still wrong?
Long Range Hunting
- Thread starter DK27
- Start date
if they can do it consistently & humanely, I don't have an issue with it. I don't have a place to practice past 200, so that's my limit on the hunt. When I was in the Navy I was guaranteed money to 600, though. So if I had. place to practice, I might take the shot, too.

How does the man explain bringing home a cooler full of elk from his "business trip to Omaha"?
Accident with the rental car.

It’s a good thing the guides are wearing name brand clothing. Otherwise that poor kid would have had to shoot another 1000 yards thru the trees to hide them.

The first animal I ever shot was a quail that another guy injured but that wouldn't move from the limb it perched on.

There's a lot of things I don't agree with, that vid being one of them. But to each there own with regard to effective range. "Hunting" isn't going to live or die on yardage, but there are plenty of bigger issues that we as hunters are shooting ourselves in the foot over. Those are the issues we should be focusing on.

Bob Lee Swagger is killing soup cans at a mile so I guess an elk is a little bigger hence a 12 year old should be good at 500.

If you think about it, we do this all the time. Murder, rape, speeding on the interstate are all limits placed on us by others. Why should this be different?
Would you be good with a guided, over the horizon, perhaps drone mounted artillery piece for mule deer, for instance? Hunting is sadly lacking in technological innovation (perhaps due to a strong "sportsman-industry lobby". That is certainly hurting hunting.

Really. It's such an efficient round that I don't even have to dial until 600 yards. And when the bullet hits the animal, it has such a high bc, it literally just dies before it hits the ground.
Dude, it's not the Creed that does that, it's the RUM. mtmuley

It was towards your sarcasm and beating a dead horse! If you dont like the round, tell your neighbor because everyone on this site has their opinion of it.
