A animal is a animal. A dead animal is a dead animal. It does matter (or know) if it was shot from 50 yards or 1050 yards.
I stalked and killed a buck I caught bedded down at 30 yards that knew he was busted. I killed an elk a 600 yards that didn't have a clue I was there. IMO the 30 yard shot had more potential to go wrong than the 600 yard one. I want to be the best rifleman I can be, as not to handicap my self from using my rifle to its full potential.
