[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 8106, member: 8947"] I too share your concerns about the flaming that occurs about LR hunting. I think these people do not understand the amount of time, money, effort and practise that most on this board do. For me LR hunting is also a byproduct of where I live. The deer I want feed in open cutblocks at extended ranges. Yes, I could learn to sneak in the bush but the season is usually hot and dry and still hunting difficult. But, it really doesn't matter. What does is that we all shoot well and can do better at LR then most can at short. So when they critize what we do, I say, how well can you shoot at your max range? Many will shy away knowing that they can't hit even at moderate ranges. So who is more likely to spray and pray??? Distance is merely that...distance. There is no magical range where ethics change from good to bad. Just the preparation, tools and mindset of those who engage in these activities will determine the ethics and outcome. I know where my bullet will land at 750yds. Do they know at 250yds? I have really enjoyed all that I have learned on this board over the years and have become a better shooter both near and far. With the new equipment, practise and skill, I am capable of taking game cleanly at all ranges I wish to hunt, and that could be as close as a hundred yards... Jerry [/QUOTE]
