[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 736398, member: 20443"] Well first off I have absolutely no problem with longrange hunting. I have no issues with setting up for a long range shot. I dont have any ethical issues or complaints that you shot a doe or took a shot at the distance you did. I dont even have a problem with you trying to take that 1000 yard shot on a deer in your neighbors farm if you can ethically make the shot. I have set up for longrange shots, it allows me to cover an incredible amount of land. my questions was [B]"Why would you let a shot get longer intentionally?" [/B]I wouldnt find a bedded animal and then walk farther away to make the shot longer. I can understand if in you were setting up your shooting solution and the deer gained distance while preparing. I just dont understand sitting there for the sake of making a long shot longer is all. Maybe I'm all alone in this. I like the ability to shoot longrange and will even set up to do so. I like shooting at relaxed unaware animals, as I prefer to not take running or offhand shots unless the animals is already hit. The distances you are talking about arent very hard at all, especially with no wind, so I can see that you didnt feel it was very unethical, it probably isnt to be honest.
