[QUOTE="WyoElk2Hunt, post: 909855, member: 19616"] My next question to myself: is this fair chase. In our camp the shortest shot was 471 and the longest wss 1697 yds yes 1697. My quandry till next season, what is fair, legal,and ethical. My answer would be to what is fair: Hunting out of a blind over a feed plot, Hunting over a dead kill site, Hunting over bait, I think the area you are hunting in defines fair. What is legal would be determined by the laws in the area you are hunting in. What is ethical? The best way it was described to me was at what range does your bullet have 1000 pounds of energy. My 338 Lapua with a 300 grain Berger bullet would put that at around 1200 yards, enough energy to make a clean kill on most animals. I have shot over a mile with it but only at targets still enough energy to kill a lot of things but maybe not ethical. [/QUOTE]
