The campfire forum afterall has this area titled, HUNTING and SHOOTING......

They are different and everyone chooses how they define hunting.

I posted comments under the gunwriter's section, ETHICS OF LONG RANGE SHOOTING.."

No doubt J. Burns knows about long range.

Is there something on that scope that let's one dial in for:

Wind that is present and ever changing from the shooter to the target?

Game that is or may move during the shot cycle?

Uphill/Downhill angles that drastically affect POI?

Those 3 variables throw a wrench into these long range systems.

So long as one understands that, and realizes it's not just 'aim, squeeze, GUARANTEED clean kill' then they will perhaps be more effective.
