Not to take a cheap shot at you bambikiller6 and I know where you're coming from but I just think we have to stop thinking like this. There are somethings that while technically legal are just unethical as hell. And its okay to completely condemn these things. If a man demonstrated that he could make a first shot kill from this distance consistently thats one thing but when a man is capable of missing 50 times from a certain distance yet he keeps going out and shooting at deer from that distance...well, I'm sorry but that guy is just an unethical P O S. The guys in that article aren't hunting...they're playing. Targets were made for playing, not deer.

thats not a cheap shot, you are right and i am glad to to see that lots of people here are not likeing that kind if stuff

I typed up a real long reply to this but the bottom line is this.....

Who would hunt with a guy who shoots at a deer 10X in thirty minutes til he "hits" it (didn't say killed) or 50X in a day "and as far as we know that sucker is still out there?!?!?!?!

MAKES ME SICK! Sounds more like kids playing a game of dare, or a group of kids throwing rocks at a streetlight until they break it.

These guys probobly hunt at long distances like these cause THEY STINK!

I gotta go so I don't puke on the carpet.

I had to say SOMETHING.......

The thought of hunting anything other than paper or large inanimate objects at those ranges makes me sick. I'm not a great hunter and I don't see a ton of deer, but jeez.

Where in the hell do you get a gun that weighs 72lbs? Especially one in 338/378?

To my knowledge rail guns don't even weigh that much, unless they are pneumatic.

I had a Weatherby in 338/378 and it was an excellent round, but too much for Arkansas deer.

I believe Harris Gunworks made a 50 BMG rifle that weighed between 11 and 14 lbs, looked really violent to shoot from pics I saw.

Good lord. I wonder how many wounded animals are running around those mountains. Shooting 50 times at an deer and missing?? These guys need to practice this alot more at the range before they try this on a live animal. I have no problem with long range shooting as long as the person doing it can consistantly hit his mark at those ranges and follows up after every shot .

I had no idea that type of "hunting" even existed. Sounds like slob hunting to me. 10 shots on a deer at 1/2 mile? That's plain UNETHICAL.

Lasers my friend, lasers. That takes all the guess work out of it.

What a bunch of idiots. If it wouldn't be misconstrued as harassment, I'd be tempted to put out a decoy...

These folks make hunting sound like a "tailgating" party at a frigging football game! Totally absurd!!!! Heck, these guys do not even need to be hunting...to dang lazy, not to mention how many wounded deer are out there because of these idiots!!![:@][&:][:'(]

They give those of us that hunt with ethics and a strong sense of respect for the animals we hunt a bad name...they are NOT HUNTERS!! But, that is just one womans opinion.
