Default RE: is this really hunting?

ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner

ok guys I'm here, a mod told me about this thread, so lets get ready to rumble, I'm a 47 year old 60% deaf ex-bowhunter, so many deer running around and I'm just looking for a challenge. anyone with an accurate rifle can do this, done properly its not hard.
Va you think I can't kill a deer at over 700 yards? ya want some phone numbers of folks who have been present when it was done?
any of you who use compound bows are just as guilty as I of using modern technology to your benafit, I bow hunted for 20 years, gave it up due to lack of time and not really any challenge to it, yep in oct here you can almost walk up to a deer and shoot it, come november its a different story.
Its not really hunting? ya think? when do you start preparing for next season? I allready have, I'm on the range every week testing loads and bullets, now is my prime time, temps and bar pressure are simular, so now is when I work on it hard. Do you have any idea how much you limit yourself when you take up this endeavor? I need a deer unspooked, and then I need 2 minutes to prepare for the shot, after I get most of my measurements, most just walk away, during the rut you get a ratio of about 4% of available shots, to shots taken, I challenge each and every one of you to take a buck during peak rut at 500 yards.

I gotta say if what you say is true I then tip my hat to you for hitting your paper plates at these yardages! Your challenging yourself in the shooting part of it, not the hunting part. You know dang well you can do it at 500 yards so you choose to challenge yourself more and get that 1000 yard kill.
