Not only that, if it is a warm day and the game has been running with adrenaline levels high, the meat would be blood-shot and ruined by the time the hunter could get to it. I have seen hunters take a 300 yard shot across a small valley in the Cascades and it was several hours getting to the game.
Why, because the hunter had to go down the canyon and then up the other side. The country is very steep.
Well, I'm encouraged by the number of real hunters here who seem to agree that such a range is unethical hunting.
I have seen the videos of successful 1000 yard shots on game and those YouTube videos get the same amount of comments deriding the hunters taking the shot. I notice that people who post themselves taking 1000 yard shots on game don't seem to include the times they missed or wounded the animal.
