I just flipped to the Sportsman's Channel and caught the tail end of "Extreme Outer Limits" on an Antelope Hunt. Any one ever see this Episode?
I was thoroughly discusted at the 2 Kills I saw.... #1@ 1010 yards and #2 at an UN-Amazing......1380 effin yards!!! They were jumping in glee at those shots and in my opinion, they just gave the Anti-Hunters a little more fuel for their fight and left an EXTREMELY SOUR taste in my mouth from their so called "Amazing" shots - IN THE HIND QUARTERS on BOTH Antelope!!!!
To state "36 MOA high x 3 MOA left/right" like the shot had no fail and to have the camera zoom in and CLEARLY show the crappy impact in the hind quarters and the Antelope drag it's A$$ end until a 2nd shot finally gave that animal peace; just doesn't sit well with me!
This begs the questions....How many of you would or have taken a shot like that at a Trophy animal or know someone who has? How many of you, if your hunting partner was attempting this type of shot; would do whatever it took to persuade them otherwise?
I realize there are many fine Long Range shooters/Hunters, but what is TOO Far?
In my opinion, long range shots that far should be reserved for target shooting only, not animals. A lot of us take pride in our hunting ethics and I think when hunting an animal, it should be given the respect it deserves with as humane and accurate kill as possible.
