[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 887999, member: 21869"] I believe for the sport since this is open forum, there shouldbe some selective editing. I had mixed feelings. The forum has like 70,000 so that is alot of opinoins, and it is LR so it should be more open here. But I have seen postings where people think 400 is long.There are many different abilities on this site so what is long for one isnt for another. I raised my boy as many on forum know as a hunter.So I understand shot, I have dialed scope while son on target many times.And hunting is not perfect.I had my son on a nice bear, which he is crazy about and he missed the well set up shot, before I could say boo, he jumps over and shoots off knee as bear crosses chute.I would not show this and was filming.He knows he shouldnt taken shot, but wounds bear and finds out what its like to finish job in a alder patch. Thats hunting, and not all kids listen. He is currently in MPschool after graduating Marine meritoriously,squad leader,and expert marksman.The sport has changed tremendously with the newer sportsman shows.Maybe someone can recall another film,think it was No land for timid?In AK,there is footage near end where the author says he had thoughts about not showing sceen, due to graphic nature,think this was 60's-70's?But wanted to show the reality.Hunter shoots a large polar bear at close range w/think a 375 H&H.The bear goes thru ice and gone...Then climbs back out and If I remeber takes over 1/2 dozen shots,some knock him down some dont,waters flying off him,too date some most awesome footage I have ever seen.The reality of a tough bear [/QUOTE]
