[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 162292, member: 4"] This is exactly my issue with those who bash or "voice their concerns" about long range hunting. They direct the focus on long range hunting as an unethical technique, instead of focusing on the fact that there are alot of people shooting beyond their abilities. My position is that long range hunters hunting within their ability are more ethically squared away than your avarage hunter for a # of reasons that I won't go into. I agree with Kirby almost 100% I think he is just trying to recover ground he lost. I have met a far higher % of "long range" hunters practicing to take ethical high % shots than I have met closer range moving target hunters practicing to make high % shots in their choosen method of hunting. I don't condem their methods only the fact that a certain segment of the hunting population dosen't care if it is a high % shot or not, just that it is a shot. I have seen this in almost all forms of hunting, shotgun, archery, rifle, muzzleloader, long range, etc. None of these techniques are bad or unethical if utlized by ethical people. Saying that long range hunting is unethical is almost as stupid as saying that gun ownership causes higher crime rates.
