[QUOTE="Rymart, post: 186299, member: 3688"] Amen to what GG said. I find it mildly offensive to referred to as a 'shooter' verses a hunter based simply on the equipment, preperation, and ranges at which shots are taken. I consider myself to be no less of a hunter, and in some cases to be more of hunter than 'average joe' because of the extra time, effort, and work that I put into ensuring not only that a shot is available to me, but that I can ethically execute the shot when the time comes to do so. The deer at 60 yards away from the tree stand is just as unaware that it is going to be shot as the deer 1000 yards away on the opposite ridge. I think the ultimate goal of a good big game hunter is that the animal is taken legally and ethically and that in either case it didn't see it coming - thats a clean kill, period. On a side note, you cannot just set up on any given random hillside with your long range equipment and expect a quality animal (or any animal) to show up. Trust me, I've tried that. Obviously there is a lot of scouting, knowledge, patience, and preparation involved, and that IS the essence of hunting, every bit as much as randomly walking through the woods and hoping to jump an animal and knock it down with the trusty 30-30 before it runs away.
