I don' t see anything wrong with that kind of shooting if you can pull it off. With good optics, a steady rest and a good rifle you can see that deer pretty good at 1000 yards. And if you have practiced at that range, then whats the problem? It takes the sport out of it? That seems to be a personal opinion that we all must decide for ourselves. Some people say using a rifle takes all the sport out of it. Some say using a bow with sights takes the sport out of it, but does that mean we shouldn' t have shows the play to the audience that hunts with guns and bows with sights?

Some people like watching shows with long shots.

I' m ready for something new in the hunting tv world, all the shows are about the same at the moment. It would be nice to see someone using the full potential of thier rifle for once. (like a 7mag)

I think most people would know they can' t shoot a deer at 1000 yards if they haven' t practiced it first. If they do think they can do that, then this isn' t thier biggest problem.

Personaly, I would like to see more big game hunting with shotguns. Compounds and blackpowder get most of the tv time. I' ve seen handgun hunts and of course rifle hunts, but I' d say in the last 2 years, I' ve only seen maybe two shows that had anyone using a shotgun on deer. For many people, that is the only legal modern firearm they can use on deer.
