[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 888088, member: 6327"] If they choose to remain ignorant so be it. I sorta have mixed feelings on the video and editing too but the fact remains that a young boy killed a bull moose and he has every right to be proud and so does his family. He hung in there and got the job done and that is what matters, IMHO. None of us are perfect but it is important to strive for perfection. In truth, I would rather see the whole video than just a kill shot but that is me. I think the anti long range crowd can be lumped together with the anti crossbow crowd or any other group of antis. I am generally a live and let live sort of guy, I don't believe that we have the right to tell other folks what they choose to do is wrong or unethical. If it's legal I'm okay with it, I may choose not to do it but that is a choice I will make for myself. I don't feel a need to apologize to anyone for the things I do, nor do I feel any obligation to be "politically correct" I don't harvest animals, I kill them. I try to do it humanely and I try to be respectful and responsible about it. I don't offend others on purpose but I refuse to walk on eggshells trying to coddle ignorant people into accepting me. I came to this forum to learn to do something I was interested in and I am doing just that (perhaps a bit slow on the uptake:)) and I'm grateful to all of you who have shared the knowledge and experience that allows me to do so. Including pictures and videos. Bob [/QUOTE]
