No worries. I've been accused of doing just what you said though, so it kind of struck a nerve, that's all.
I don't have issues with long range hunting, especially when guys like the OP can and did make a couple of clean, one-shot kills on undisturbed animals.
As a matter of fact, this fall on my antelope hunt, they were really skittish inside 600 or 700 yards, and I was thinking that a longer shot at an animal that wasn't on edge might be more ethical, given the skill to make the shot, which I admittedly don't have yet and luckily didn't need on that hunt.
Having said that, if someone does raise an issue about LR hunting, I think the best way to respond is to meet their point head-on, not just say "this is the LR forum, shove off."
Just my opinion, FWIW.
