Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Realistic Distance For Ethical Kills

There is a difference between long-range shooting and "hunting". The traditional hunting skills of stalking and woodsmanship are not needed. The critter is not confronted and taken. Actually it reminds me of the difference between house to house combat and using a drone. With the drone there is a lot of tech but no ground skills.

I say keep the first shot within either the shorter of 300 yards or the distance at which you can hit a cantaloupe 100% of the time on the first shot . Then improve your stalking and hunting skills.

There must be some self imposed limits. Just cause you can do something does not mean it is a good idea to do it .
