I have a feeling I'll be around as long as I choose to be Champlain. I'm not above anyone else but I don't think killing a deer from 1300 yards is considered hunting.
You will be around but nobody will talk with you. I expect you are used to that because of your attitude. I saw a piece on TV about long range coyote hunting. The equipment and techniques to make a killing shot at a game animal at long yardage is incredible. Only a few have the ability to even come close. I consider that alone to weed out 99% of the sportsmen to be able to accomplish long range hunting. Being able to get within close bow range is certainly difficult but equally difficult is to be able to hit what you are aiming at taking into consideration ballistic drop, wind drift, temperature and barometric pressure. To accomplish a close stalk on a game animal everything has to be perfect. The same can be said about a long range killing shot where perfection is the only goal. Our military only allows a select few to become snipers. The equipment and person using it has to be perfect not lucky.
