1 Rocky Mountain Bighorn- 95 yards
When I first spotted him, he was 385 yards. Pretty sure I could have made a clean kill as one of spots I place my steel plates is 387 yards from the bench.
I spent the next few hours closing the gap and would not trade that experience for anything.
The whole LR debate reminds me of a quote I heard in my bowhunter education class many years ago. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots"
It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. Your personal preference dictates what you want be. It becomes an ethical issue when the shooting ability does not match up to the distance. No matter the distance.
