Whoa...I don't have a beef at all with killing an animal at 700 yards and I'll stand right their with you to defend anyone's right/priviledge to do so. I don't have a beef with guys that sit in a tree-stand all day and whack a deer at close range either. That would bore me to tears since I prefer the challenge of stalking them on the ground.

My issue is with semantics and why it is so hard for some to understand and accept the differnce of shooting at something that has absolutely no chance of discovering or detecting your presence as a hunter. That's not called hunting in my book...again, it's simply a shooting exercise.

It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't, everyone would do it. The hard...is what makes it great.
