My point exactly, Make sure you tell us of your trophy. The score of his horns matters more than the method taken.
What I do not understand is what the difference is between a elk or bear or whitetail or muley or antelope or sci top 10 trophy at 500 yards. There is no difference between shooting a doe or smart ole monster at 500 yards. How would either know you where even hunting them. Unless you already have spooked them.
And let me get this straight. The sport/challenge of long range shoot/hunting is you might miss? So your trophy may get away or get wounded? Dont we owe it to the game we hunt as ethical hunters to strive to make shots we are sure will cleanly kill? But wait, that would take the challenge/sport out of the long range "hunt".
I know this will change no ones mind, so I agree to disagree, thanks for the debate! I enjoyed it.
