+10 to Yote Hunter, every animal killed deserves an ethical death.

Actually, I think you misunderstood my post.
The questions was �Should every hunter be shooting at elk past 400yds?�. With focus on the word �every�, my response was �Not just �No�, but �Hell, no!�
That is in no way a condemnation of those are well prepared to shoot past 400 yards, of which there are many - including myself. My favorite targets are clay pigeons on the 400-yard berm. Targets the size of mule deer kill zones are easy out to 600 if the wind cooperates.
On the other hand, there are a lot of people that shouldn�t be shooting game at 100 yards.
