I think we have a problem in this country that hunting as an art, generally speaking, is being lost in favor of gee whiz gadget's that allow the best user's to kill from farther away. Generally speaking, from what I see and what I read the average hunter lack's well tuned shooting skill's and hunting skill's. He's traded hunting skill's for a flatter shooting rifle and a bigger scpoe, neither of which give's him the advantage he's looking for. For no other reason than he just doesn't know how to use what he has.

The well trained sniper on the other hand know's how to use those shooting skill's and the hunting skill's. Give the average guy the baddest magnum on earth and the trained sniper a 22LR and the sniper will take him out! Probally it has been this way for much longer than we realize.

Hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toe's here, don't mean to.
