This is a Hunting forum. With advances in rifle and scope tech, at what point does it cease being hunting and become only shooting?
I watched a guy get slammed on another forum for taking an animal at over 1200 yards. He didn't defend it etc just took it. I already knew why. He just didn't care. But it was funny some of the comments, why don't you get closer, learn to hunt, use a bow etc.
Ironically he had taken over 25 elk with a trad bow many of those trad kills were via a long bow. The long range hunting is just another skill that takes mastering. Different strokes for different folks, that's the beauty of our hunting, being able to use multiple tools to put meat on the table
