[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 959294, member: 71923"] OK, so I want to make sure I give a good hearty chuckle to what mud runner said about the 125 .30 bullets. Now for your comments DrillDog: LRH is a sport. I go to the store to buy meat, I hunt for sport. Having said that, I butcher everything I kill and eat it or give it to friends. I don't, (and I think I can generally speak for those on this site here) take random long shots with out knowing where my bullet is going to land. I don't hold over about so far, I don't even do the calculations at home and the go to the field and adjust my scope. what I do is the math at home, go to the range, get really comfortable and then go hunting. I have a blind that allows for point blank shots all the way out to about 900 yards. I am not yet comfortable at 900 yards so I just look at the deer if they are that far. however, if there is one at 650 yards or less, I will shoot it. If there is a doe at 400 yards, I might wait for another one to be at 600 yards unless its the end of the season. I wait for, and take long shots on purpose!!! We all do, that is what this sport is about!! Its not about guessing, or taking shots we are not comfortable with, unless you are irresponsible. Hope this makes sense. I am not sure why Varmints are in a different class of animals? because you want to exterminate them? rather than just hunt for food? not sure on this one... Ah, one more thing. You might let God decide on the 'shoulds' of life. 'should' really belongs to Him. We have our opinions and that's OK, but I believe 'should' is above our 'pay scale'. [/QUOTE]
