RE: is this really hunting?
I both gun and bow hunt and it is really sad to see "Hunters" bad mouthing others for their method of taking game. Each has to know his or her limitations and abilities. You may ask if a 1000 yard shot is "hunting", well if you get in your stand and a deer comes walking by 5 minutes later and you get a shot with a bow is that a greater degree of "hunting" I think not. I know how far I can shoot my bow and gun and won't take a shot longer than that. Yardage does not make the "hunt".
