I may be the only one but after hunting all over creation for 50 years, I have yet to see a time where it was even remotely necessary to take a 800 yard plus shot at a game animal. Not even to prove some Rambo point to anyone and certainly have nothing to prove to myself. Maybe many have bot seen animals shot and wounded at ranges that didn't allow the animal to be found. While a man on foot or even on a good horse can cover some ground, a wounded animal can make itself pretty scarce in that amount of time. I don't even consider it a matter of ethics as much as just plain common sense. These kind of stunts may work for the one tenth of one percent of hunters who can do this even 60 percent of the time but posting this stuff where the rest of the hunters who can't is just asking for trouble. I have been through this before and I am done harping on it. However the only thing for sure is that these god figures to some of you screw up too and the longer the range, the more chance for Murphy to work his magic. Now flame away . With good practice and knowing all the variables, a 400 yard shot is out at about the extreme limit of most hunters including me IMO. However I love those way out there targets. The kind that don't bleed.
