[quote=smokepole]PSS, after thinking about it, there are no laws against taking a low percentage shot, which is as it should be. It's too subjective. You can't legislate ethics.
And it would be the ultimate slippery slope. Exactly what I`ve been trying to say. It IS the shooters choice. Thank You

The problem I have with the OP is he made a video in an attempt to suck his own dick. I don't believe for a second he was aiming for that cow's head.
I'm also not saying people can't hit a target that size at 900yds. I'm saying the OP didn't intend to hit that part of the animal when the video was shot.
He can claim he did, but the stench of douche-bag is way too strong in that video.

Tagged before it gets buried. And I agree.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. --Winston Churchill
I agree mostly, but I'd qualify that--I don't car how long another guy shoots, provided he can make the shot.
But going back to the title of the thread, hitting a stationary target that size at that distance is different than hitting an animal's head, which is the part of its body most likely to move.
To put it another way, if you can hit an elk head-sized target at that distance, you sure as hell can hit its vitals. So why not just do that.
Either he was aiming at the chest and hit it in the head but didn't recover it and chose to represent it as a head shot on an internet video, or he was aiming at the head and missed.
I can't believe his lame comment on youtube once it came to light what happened. This kind of thing makes hunters look bad. He should be kicking himself in the ass, not patting himself on the back.
And he needs to take that disgrace of a video down.
That's my biggest problem with it; it makes all hunters look like schit and provides ammo for Anti-Hunters.... I'd take the video down ASAP but the damage is done.

Tell the truth? As if I had said something that wasn't true? Looks like the internet police have caught me. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids! There are plenty of people who know this elk wasn't recovered. Apparently its the first big game animal lost in the history of hunting.(<sarcasm) I dont recall saying I had recovered it.
Holy crap. If he didn't recover it, what could he possibly be proud of? Why would he feel better about that shot, than say breaking a leg or gut shooting it? Wonder what the Fish and Game folks would think of the video...
Amazing...

Never understood the fascination with shooting at the part of an animal that darts, bobs, dips and ducks more than any other while offering a relatively small and potentially non-lethal target.
