[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 1973923, member: 113278"] I’m not sure what the big deal is, 2 hunters wanted to try their luck at long range hunting. One ate a tag on the way home one connected on shot 5. No one knows how buck fever may have intervened on the second shooters shots. Wind on first shooters shots was probably to blame and buck fever. I shot a bull at 600 yards in NM without fancy gear. A rangefinder and an elevation adjustment on the Zeiss. I practiced groups at that range and not steel plates, but I thought it was a chip shot with no wind. In the wind here in NY I found out the hard way to not stretch the distance but I recovered the deer. There are negatives to every aspect that we do. Shall I hate trappers because it may hurt an animal and it chews its foot off to escape? (Yes I do trap on occasion) Shall I not like long range shooters because I don’t have the resources beyond 600 yards to shoot and they can effectively harvest at 1000 yards and more (twice the distance I can). All I can say is this day in age if we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy the hunting and shooting sports we should think about sticking together. Divided we will fall!!! Even the Curmudgeons!! [/QUOTE]
