Ability to do something doesn't mean that you should. Your bowhunting success shows a level of skill most only dream of. That's a game of man vs animal that goes back to the dawn of time. At any moment the wind could shift, a branch could rustle, an arrow could knock against your quiver, and the animal has a chance to win the game. The same cannot be said for the second situation.

I believe that marksmanship should be the cornerstone of a good hunter. When and how to apply that is a personal choice. If a man considers something like the B&C fair chase statement and feels that a 1000yrd shot does honor to the hunter and the hunted then so be it. I opine that it does not.
