The difference between cooter bob shooting a running elk in the ass at 100 yards and cooter bob loping bullets at an elk 1k yards away....one more ethical than the other? The high percentage of bow hunters making bad shots at 40 yards unethical? Who knows , obviously not cooter bob. This has been beat to death , its the natural progression of things. Traditional bow hunters hate compounds ,traditional muzzle loader hunters hate in lines , who hate sharps guys who hate center fire guys who hate guys who use scopes who hate guys who use match bullets who hate guys that go on guided hunts who hate guys with bigger dicks than them. Guess it ends there
Yeah this nails it. What's "ethical" depends on who's doing it.
And what I see is a lot of "I can't do it so it must be unethical" attitudes.
Substantively it's no more risky shooting at an animal running at under 100 yards than making a wind call in broken canyon country at 600-800 yards,if you know what you are doing in either case.
And have brains enough to stay off the trigger if you can't pull it off,which anybody with experience will know pretty quickly.
