bigbrother,
I think you put the final summary to this thread. I do have strong opinions on this long range "hunting" subject. In the last 23 years here on the farm, I have had non-residents set up on a ridge 800 yards North of my biggest (and POSTED) hayfield and then shoot at any deer they see in my field and elsewhere. A few years ago those Long RANGERS succeeded in nearly blasting off the left hind leg of a doe in the center of my posted hayfield. I dropped her, tagged her and then went and chatted with the long range boys with the assist of the Game Warden.
This is the basis of my experience with long range hunters. I do not call it hunting when live animals are merely targets. Long range shooting takes skill and so does hunting. I have nothing more to say on this matter except, if I offended anyone, I apologize.
Adam
