True where do we draw the line. Challenging is not a modern rifle, lets limit it all to matchlocks or even spears?
Have you noticed that many folks that take long shots are also bowhunters? I'm proficient on both ends, close and long. Each takes a skill set. My choice. Not your choice. I don't fault you for a close range shot, why fault my choice? Result is still a dead deer.
Your scenario on the elk, sorry, wake up brother, taht one gets played out, simply by numbers of slob hunters period, at ranges of 200 and well under all season long..... For the most part I'd bet the dedicated long range folks put in many more hours of time and effort than the average joe, and on average, wound much less than the average joe.
Too much name calling here, and division.
