[QUOTE="farout, post: 888065, member: 39061"] Enjoyed the video very much and it was very educational for me. Thought both shooter and spotter worked great together to make those shots happen. Definitely a team effort going there. I, myself have not had the opportunity to take a game animal at long range. But I practice relentlessly, for that opportunity. Rocks shutter when in my crosshairs at 900 or so yards. :) So I find videos like this educational and will help me in making the right decisions when that time comes. I do not think we should edit out just to appease anti hunters. We have the right to watch and they have the right not to watch. I think most hunters who have issues with long range hunting feel that the long shot is making the whole sport of hunting too easy and allows the killing of game that may have otherwise escaped. They feel that fewer tags will be available due to increased success. I always say to them, "Fine, why not lay down the rifle and pick up the bow, or lay down the bow and pick up the spear." They usually change their mind when their tool of choice is under attack. Truth is humans always incorporate newer technology when available. That's how we went from rocks, to spears, to bows, to guns in the first place. [/QUOTE]
