There have always been those who oppose the idea of shooting at animals at long distances. Most of the arguments against it revolve around the same topic, wounding the animal. Most of the dialog comes from well meaning people who actualy know very little about the subject. Others are control types who feel their views on things is what we should all follow. Im in my 80th year walking around this planet. This season will be my 68th hunting the steep mountains of N. C. PA. For the last 45 of those years ive been hunting by long range only. My only regret is all the years it took for me to start doing it. Their are hundreds of others who hunt long range in this region. Many of the deer are killed by kids or first timers. The same mountain chain runs all the way south to georgia. I'll invite Snyper to visit me and i'll show him how wrong he is and why.
