[QUOTE="ven, post: 137885, member: 6124"] i have no experience of shooting large game at long distance the furthest i have shot deer is 300 yards any further i do not have the experience so i do not attempt such shots.i find it incredible that some of you have the ability to take game past 1000 yards. the hunt sounded gret and i am pleased that old bear got his elk . i have been following this topic from the start and considering my limited experience had no comment to make.but i thought as far as the morality debate i thought i could give you my opinion of how things are in the uk as to regards risky shots long range shots. my job part time is taking clients out stalking to shoot red and roe deer in both open ground and woodland the rest of the time i go hunting alone for managment of deer in forestry ground. here in the uk a long shot is considerd by the vast majority of stalkers to be 150 to 200 yards i have been critised in the past for shooting deer at 300 yards by people who have no knowledge of long range shooting or have let me shoot them a group at 300 yards but they choose to past judgement because it is not the done thing here in the uk. i think in the uk this shot would of been frowned apon by alot in the huting communtity because of the distance of the shot and hunting at that range is never heard of and also lots of stalkers are profesional or semi part time in the uk and to shoot over 100 deer a year is the usual.becuse of the numbers long range shots at those sort of distance would mean something would eventually go wrong. i go hunting everyday and i personaly would be very annoyed and serously consider my ablity if i aimed at a deers shoulder and hit it in the head that is a wild miss in my books but thats only at 300 yards not 1300 where i dare say the best most competent shot in the world could miss their target because of the slightest breath of wind. i can see both sides of this argument and ith my limied experince on long rane hunting pass no judgment on anyone even though i feel the vast majority of uk hunters would not see this as a great success.then again who hasnt thought they had set somthing up perfectly and done eveything right but something whent slighty wrong but got lucky and learnt from the experience.
