....but not hunting
I am waiting for someone to tell me why it is "NOT" hunting


Ok I am rolling along in my truck,and think I see something in the distance way off to one side.
I stop my truck get out and glass the area,sure enough its a shootable (add long range target here) I get my GPS lazer guided nasa spec. range finder and measure the distance to said target at (add looooong yardage here) excellant!!! lets go hunting!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Next thing I do is get my shooting bench out of the truck and set it all up,this takes a few minutes then the rifle is set up as required.....nearly there in my hunting quest <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Now I get my anemometer and measure the wind direction and speed...so close now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> one final bit to do I get my laptop and configure all the relevant information into it, bullet,wind speed direction distance...the usual suspects.
ok now we are cooking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> so back to the bench with calculation in hand, set rifle up for computed windage and bullet drop....take aim and fire....hopefully this will result in a kill.....its as simple as that job done trophy in the bag hunt over <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> the mighty nimrod has struck once more.

If you fail to realise that shooting at animals at looong ranges isn't hunting by now you probably never will,but be under no illusion although probably no one (myself included) doubts that it takes skill etc yada yada to make such shots.....most people think you are laughable and ridiculous to claim such a title for yourselves.....
