Whats wrong with some of you people???
Just cause you cant do it, you think its unethical? You need to get a life and quit complaining about this long range crap.
They did 3 times in a row, he obviously knows what he doing. How can you call that lucky and unethical?
Get off your high horse.
Those goats are nothing more than a nusiance, same as our prairie dogs or the sewer rats in the cities. I dont see anyone complaining about long, unethical shots on prairie dogs.
We dont even consider 300 yds long range. Not till your past at least 500. We can smack our 12"x12" 400 yarder without hardly trying. I wouldnt expect all of you to, but this is what I do. This is our lifestyle.
We need to start a thread on the unethical tree stands and blinds.
I think you people that sit in stands or blinds need to get off your butts and start doing some actual hunting for a change.
You call this (long range) luck shooting and not hunting?
I call sitting in a stand, the same thing.
That is not hunting. Just waiting for something to walk by. You are not hunters.
Completely camo'd with scent blockers.
Baits.
Range finders for your 80 yd shot.
A scoped rifle for crying out loud.
Speaking of scopes. How about the guys with scoped turkey guns. Now theres someone thats got problems. If you have to have a scope on a 30 - 40 yrd shotgun, you better give up hunting.
Now, before you throw a fit, please realize something. This is my opinion, same as that is yours. Everyone hunts their own way and its nobody elses business to tell them they should be doing something or not. If they were gut shooting them, or doing something illegal, thats different.
I hunt my way ,you hunt your way ,and they hunt their way.
I cant make the goat shots like those guys, but I dont think its unethical. I dont expect guys from Florida brush country to hike the mountain ridges and shoot across canyons like me.
I dont have near enough patience to sit in a stand or blind and dont even own one as it would do no good here anyway. Even tho I dispise that style of hunting, I know its the only way to do it in certain places.
Sorry to rant and rave, just trying to make a point.
