I find it somewhat sad that a bull elk has been reduced to nothing more than a living target for long range stunt target shooting. About the only times I would even consider trying to shoot something at even half than range are when I would be shooting at inanimate targets or at enemy soldiers who want to kill me.
I realize many people are very good long range shooters. One of my former coworkers is an internationally recognized 1,000 yard target shooter. I realize that hunters do miss or wound sometimes when shooting from short ranges.
This shot from over 0.8 mile away is just a stunt. I hope it will not encourage others to do likewise.
