Some people have a single tool. Some people have a tool-box full of tools. The more tools you have, the more likely you are to choose the proper tool for the job.
When I worked at a busy gun shop in college, I came to realize that there's actually not a lot of "lucky hunters", there are just an enormous number of "unlucky big game animals".
The number of people who came in to the gun shop to have their rifle "bore sighted for season" was/is unfathomable to me when I started. As such, it's easy to see and understand why some consider "long-range" to be unethical, they don't have the tools in the tool-box. Nor do they have the background or desire to acquire the knowledge. It's easier and less expensive to pass-judgement and chastise those who are more capable.

mike r Well mike r, in terms of long-range shooting, no, don't have anywhere near the experience Mr. Burns does. In terms of Moose, Black Bear, and Deer hunting with a bow or rifle, with the numbers of them I have killed, I would say I am right up there with anyone I know in Canada. And I am far away from being anywhere near the best person in those species in Canada, I do alright for myself, just an average hunter is all. I am proud to say that I am an excellent shot with a Rifle a Bow and a Shotgun. I worked hard at it. Cheers ~

Cheers ~ For me it is hit or miss! ya! GWB Yes, it’s the same for all sportsman. “Things” tend to get in the way of clean and concise kills. As sportsman, we have to make quick decisions when taking game. Internet blowhards like Killer Bee always gloss over these realistic facts. Then they are easily spotted as fakes. Welcome to the abyss you helped create, Killer Bee.

Why you are so angry is beyond me. But my children are just fine. lol. I’ll happily unblot your comments above by the way. Grats ‘76. Something really special about hog bodied whitetail from Alberta, a whole different breed all together. Those are a couple dandies, don’t give a fuuck where they were hit. I’ll shoot en where they bleed, but I’m not a flatbilled Sitka wearing kifaru faag either
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Jim Carrey ? 25 yo pic with a “ex”??? wtf, must rent a apartment on a man made “pond “? No Quite 25 year old pict, I can post a more recent one. Ya one of the trolls from Alberta said I live in an apartment, that is how full of chit they are. I took a picture for a thread the other day to seek advice on Hummingbird feeding. The picture is the back of my house that I own, which happens to be a high-end custom executive home. This is the picture of the walkout to our lake. I hung the feeder off of my upper deck, where I eat most diners during the summer so I can enjoy all of the waterfowl while I eat. Notice the windows? They are 7' High x 4' Wide, which only represents a portion of the back of my home. If I were to sell it today I would be asking $1,200,000.00 I am far from improvised. Don't believe everything the Alberta Outdoorsman trolls write as fact. When I wrote my response yesterday I forgot to mention that the longest shot I have taken on game, was a nice bull Moose which I called in. Killed him with a freehand shot @ 500 yards with my M1917. I could not get closer and that is the day I decided to buy a long-range rifle and scope. Picture of that moose below as well.
