The problem with this is that IMO it really jsut looks like killing and not hunting. Kind of reminds me of the guy shooting at people on the interstatein Ohio (I think it was Ohio) Yes it takes skill to shoot a deer from 900 yards away but why not shoot paper from 900 yards away and try some real skill to get a bruiser buck inside of 30 yards!
Who really cares how far a deer was killed from??........I'm sure the deer wouldn't feel any better about someone killing him from in close
Everything in the hunting world is geared towards making it easier to kill a deer.
The weapon debate is pointless unless you kill them with your bare hands. A rifle hunter will get it from shotgunners.....who get it from crossbows.......who get it from compound shooters.......who hear it from traditional guys...........There is always someone out there who thinks their way is harder or more sporting or more challenging or requires more skill blah blah blah.
It's all the same in the end.
900 yard shoot takes WAY more skill then I think is being given credit for here............no matter what the target.
