RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
That's not long range hunting - it's just long range SHOOTING . 880 yards would be 1/2 mile . Apparently these guys aren't stealthful enough to get any closer than that ! Why bother with the rest to shoot from . Why not just sit in the truck and use the mirror for a rest .............Hunters ? ---- NOT !

I am impressed with their skill.
However I would be just as or more impressed if they where shooting a target and not an animal.
Not for me, I like to see the kill zone with the naked eye.

That was definetly good shooting I admit, but as several mentioned above, it would take the fun out of the point of hunting. I don't think I would shot that far even if I believe I could make it safely

personally i think if you have the ability hunt in this way and put deer down cleanly i don't see a problem. i do have a problem with people who put down this type of hunting. some may say that its unethical or they're bad hunters because they "can't" get any closer. hunting at this range is just as hard as hunting within 100 yards of your deer. except they require different skills. within 100 yards you must take into account wind and gettingto your spot without leavingscent and such but the shooting ability doesn't necessarilly have to be all that high.at such a close range assuming your weapon is sighted in putting a deer down should be easy. atsuch a long distance you must be more disciplined in other aspects. you have to be much more of a marksmen to shoot atdistances such as this. some may think this is merely target shooting but to these people its hunting. furthermore i doubt most people have tried this type of hunting so it goes back to don't knock 'til you try it.
now let my flaming begin...
