Good shooting. Where's the hunting part?
Some of us think there's a difference. Some don't. We don't have to agree. Hunt the way you want to, and stop saying we don't like it because we can't do it. Maybe we don't want to.
Put it this way, if i showed you that video and they said the range was 230 yards and it took .25 MOA up for elevation and shot, you would think "Hey that was a good ethical shot!" but since you know its 500+ yards you think its unethical?!?!
This guy practices and shoots at least 500 practice rounds a year not including hunting. The bullets he uses is $40 for a box of 50, his brass is $1 a piece or more, he uses around 90 grains of powder per shot. lets say he get 5 reloads out of each case. Thats $100 in brass+ $400 in bullets+ 6.5 pounds of powder at $23.99 a pound so $156 in powder so all that added up is $656 JUST in practice. That doesnt include gas money to get to where he practices.
Also he can shoot 1/2 MOA or better PAST 1500 yards so you cant tell me that him shooting at game at 1000 yards is unethical.
Lets say its the last day of your out of state mule deer hunt. There is 30 minutes of shooting light left and you see a 200" buck a 890 yards but you are not capable of makeing that shot and you cant get any closer, you would have to pass on the buck. On the other hand he is not out of range for me, or Shawn.
And one more thing then i will be done with my little rant, Shawn puts it this way, he said "I wont take a shot unless i would be completely astonished if i missed."
Ok, done with rant, go about your weekend.
