[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1082170, member: 70595"] One of the many definitions of ethics is what one does when others aren't watching. I won't shoot at a live creature beyond 500 yards simply because I am not practiced enough nor skilled enough to ensure I do it right. I completely agree with the OP about the B&C club taking a stand that divides the hunting group. The B&C club should know better than that. I see things everyday that I am not comfortable with but I won't make an issue simply because what is being done is legal and really has no effect on me. I will be the judge, jury and executioner if I witness something that is not legal. I have seen people mortaring rounds into a herd of elk from unbelievable yardage and not then following up on the shots. I turned the hunting party in but nothing could be done about the seven wounded cow elk and the three carcasses that were found days later. (Deer point lookout, Darby MT 2010 general season.) I was a hunter safety instructor and I fully believe in education not regulation. The long range hunters really need to inform the public about the how and why the group does what it does. The long rangers need to let the B&C and other judgement passing groups to learn before passing opinions that may or may not be true. Also being a bowhunter, I know what the long rangers are going through because the bowhunters went through the same thing from the 70's through the eighties and the long rangers need to become far better at informing the public than just saying what we do is ethical and then providing no follow up to that statement. I don't know the possibilities of the long rangers forming some kind of instructional sight or organization to promote the sport, that is what needs to be done to promote the truth that long rangers know what they are doing and what ever it takes for the general public to understand and believe what you guys and gals are doing is ethical and repeatable with proper training and knowledge. The ball is in the hands of the long rangers to inform the general public about the sport and change the opinions of the groups that do not support the long range community. If the long range community does support the idea of informing the public and then does it, the non supporters have nothing to stand on and the non supporters have nothing to support the mis-statements. The ball is in your hands. Quit being the martyrs and do something. [/QUOTE]
