[QUOTE="Cowboyshooter, post: 988364, member: 83113"] Just decided to post my answer is all. Kind of tongue in cheek, but I decided to put some challenge into my hunting after several years. Once I became proficient enough to hit anything I could see, I decided the challenge was not there. So I went the other way. Does not mean I did not enjoy it, does not mean I don't teach it. I do both, but mostly teaching now. Partly I saw some truly outrageous comments and needed to poke a bit of fun. My feeling however, is only take the responsible shot. What makes it responsible depends greatly on the shooter however. My favorite long range shots, those taken by Harry Pope and the Revolutionary and Civil War snipers. Civil war snipers took shots out to over 1/2 mile, not so far by today's standard but in 1863 a very long shot. I have taken deer and elk both at ridiculous distances, but decided to go the other way. I still like to hunt for things at long to extremely long distances, sorry if you did not care for the poking fun part of life. :) [/QUOTE]
