[QUOTE="Backcountry_IDN, post: 1760330, member: 106153"] John you're wrong!!!! Just kidding man. I feel the same and agree with you. Idk what it is, maybe the passion has grown stronger over the years but I as well get emotional with the game I take. Its a bitter sweet moment you voupd say. I think your hunting rifle in all honesty should be just as accurate as someone's PRS style rifle. Unfortunately I know that is definitely not always what happens. Too many times you see a guy with a savage axis in a caliber that loses that 1500 ft/lb threshold within 700 yards take that 800 yard shot on an elk and either completely miss or hit back due to lack of precision and frankly practice. (Savage axis guys-chill its just an example) I don't think many long range hunters practice as much as they so should. And I really think the big kicker is lack of practice. And we sometimes have to blame social media with guys who PRACTICE make 1000 yard shots and dump that bull elk with ease. But again they practice. They make it look easy and so everyone else thinks they can do exactly that. [/QUOTE]
