I was at the "range" last week...... and I wouldn't trust 8 outta 10 of those "hunters" to hit a paper plate at anything over 100 yards. This isn't about Long Range hunting..... it's about people taking shots they shouldn't..... then not doing the right thing.
LR hunters get a bad rap...... yet there are slob hunters across the board . I guarantee there are far more deer shot and lost/left inside 200 yards than outside 500 yards every year.
You can't fix stupid..... though I'd often like the chance to beat it out of somebody.
