Realistic distance for ethical kills? After much thinking and reading a bunch of posts in this forum and others I have come to the conclusion the max distance for ethical kills is 4 yards. Anyone who shoots further than 4 yards or has ever shot further than four yards is a slob hunter and deserves to have their ethical card taken.
Having had jobs and having been married, I can generalize on the above. It is possible to find fault in everything someone does, doesn't do, says, or doesn't say. It is possible to find a million things per second to criticize about anyone. But not challenging someone, can be have problems too. So as we get smarter, we pick our battles like chess moves. Then our problems are mostly others picking battles with us.
When I pulled the trigger on a 477 yard shot in 2013, I knew I had him. When I started firing at 625 yards in 2008, I did not know what I was doing.
