I agree. Sounds to me like he knows his abilities. I don't need advice from someone that says I take risky shots when shooting at the head of a deer because it might move, and then tells me he takes 300 yard shots. I guess the deer won't move at 300 yards. Any shot taken at a wild animal is a risk, even reasonable shots. A whole lot of attitudes about ethical and fair have really changed over the years. I blame it on the "Experts". I have shot deer with a Savage .22 HiPower and a .223. That is just about the end of the world with some people, right up there with head shots. I have never hit and lost a deer with either caliber. I thoroughly check a miss and I don't care if I am using my .358 WIN. I had a bad experience with Buckshot once and I will never use it again, but if you do well with it, who am I to tell you it is unethical? If headshots are not for you, so be it, but don't say others are unethical hunters because of your limitations.
