Just a little correction Bushcraft. Hunting as described by the Webster dictionary "Seeking game". As soon as you go out the door of your house with rifle in hand you are actually hunting by definition. There are fellas that can knock them down effectively at long range and there are morons that can't hit a School bus at 100 yards. The hunters that are true sportsman - know what they can and can't do, they don't intentionally wound.
There is also the fact that most people still have to get out in the woods which involves all the hunting skills to get in to position to make the long shot, in other words if you go into the woods up wind of an animal I don't care how far away it is you will not see it, let alone get a shot. So yes it is hunting.
