Taking shots at animals beyond 500 yards,isn't hypocritical,its being honest. I can honestly tell you,that having killed a number of animals at over 500 yards,is in no way to be confused with actually hunting. Hence the reason you have to start these type of threads. You yourselves know that this type of shooting isn't hunting.

Anytime you have to question what you're doing as to wether its hunting or not,its not hunting. You've answered your own question.

Thanks for the PM rick.
