Let's don't go gettin' personal. I hate to close a thread that I've been playing in, but that doesn't mean I won't.
I just don't need YOU or any other "internet expert" deciding what is ethical for me or anyone else for that matter. Save YOUR ethics for YOURSELF or someone who cares to listen.
Running with dogs- obviously an ethical dilemma, I doubt you would drum up much support for it here
Hunting over bait/feeder-I don't see how this is inherently less ethical than normal hunting, I think you would probably find many people against it are against it b/c it is boring/lame.
Zero Junk, how can you say that? After all, this is the Internet, Al Gore's Information Superhighway (add reverb and echo effects)! You don't actually think anyone would stretch the truth on the internet, do you?I suspect some of the posters have never shot at an animal at any distance, much less 1000 yards.
Hilarious.Why is it held in NM? Oh that is right b/c where there is no cloud cover you have no wind. Is he going to take this shot in a desert?
The last two years for the match the weather was 90+ degrees and average wind of 5-15 mph. The year before that it was torrential rain. This year we had 15 - 35 mph winds. I'll post the video once it gets edited down and you can hear and see the wind conditions present for yourself.After the first day of competition in wind that started at 15 mph and was gusting to 35 mph, the average hit rate for the competitors on the course was about 60% on targets from 150 to 750 yards
This is amongst the most ridiculous statements in this thread so far.If you are talking about 500yds or more, may I suggest something in a 50BMG.
Not if you are shooting at an animal. I believe that is the very definition of hunting: To pursue (game) for food or sport.If what you are primarily interested in is taking long range shots and proving your skill at taking those shots, you're not a hunter you are a long range shooter.
