[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 894837, member: 15229"] Something that has taken me awhile to figure out about (long range hunting) is that it's not really about taking an animal at long distances. It's an experience whereby you are in a position to find hard to find animals and enjoy that experience. Then, make the decision whether or not you can and or want to move closer to harvest them. The beauty of glassing and sight seeing is phenomenal, a big part of the "hunt." Retrieving the animal plays into it too. I still like to hunt up close and personal, but long range hunting is almost a graduation of many skills coming together and kind of makes you a hunter/sniper. Quite fascinating really. I can't imagine a true hunter that wouldn't enjoy the experience even if meant shooting within a shorter range on the hunt. How close can you get to some of these animals, what will you see before you pick your opportunity up. MERRY CHRISTMAS... LET'S PRACTICE SAFELY IN THE NEW YEAR. [/QUOTE]
