Most shots out west for antelope are at least 300 yard shots.
If you practice, practice, and practice, know your ammo, your gun, and the surrounding conditions, it isn't that hard to reach out and touch them.
If you aren't comfortable with long shots then by all means don't take them. But to say people that do are morons is ridiculous.
Good luck to you.

Agreed. Try hunting lopes inEastern Montana. Sometimes there is no way to get closer, and you cancrawl on your belly through prickly pear only so far. 400 yards is no easy task, but it's not an unethical shot under the right circumstances. The trick is to knowyourself and your equiment well enough to know your limits.
