[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 888026, member: 30902"] Well said. Anyone who finds this site see's what it's about, "Long Range Hunting". The main purpose of this site is to promote just that and filling people with false expectations will lead them into situations that make them quickly lose any taste for the sport and possibly hunting in general. If we stick to the truth, neither scrubbed nor embellished we do them, Len, and the sport a service and do do anything less does them all a disservice. One problem I have with some of the hunting shows on TV is that they do scrub, wash, clean, edit heavily and embellish for the sake of promoting sponsors products and those shows honestly leave a bad taste in my mouth especially those that basically tell complete novices that if they spend enough money on the products being promoted shooting live game is like a fool proof video game where you cannot miss and every shot is a clean kill. I often wonder just how many stomachs are turned when the well meaning but gullible viewers find out what reality is and how may of them will then lose the taste forever for the sport we are trying to grow.
