I understand both sides of this arguement. I don't have a problem with anyone shooting long range. I know people that have done it and I have made a couple of long shots.
Although this year I shot my whitetails at less that 30 yards and my elk at less than 30 feet.

All and all I do my best to get as close as possible without spooking the animal....the reason for this is I would be sick if I shot off a front leg or wounded an animal because I was pushing the envelope on range for reasons such as "it is boring to shoot them close".

These are just my thoughts. I am not saying anyone on here has wounded an animal.....but if you have ever missed one, that means that it could have very easily been a wounded one.

Just my 2 cents.


Shoot Strait....Penetrate Deep.
