Just sitting here thinking how much long range has changed the game. Everywhere you turn it's 750 this, 900 that. Hell everyone can make a 500 yarder now. Critters don't stand much of a chance. Not complaining, I'm as guilty as the next, long bombs are pretty fun. That being said it has got to have an impact on mature bucks/bulls. I know it has for me. I mean if you can sit across a 1,000 yard canyon and send lasers into the boiler room. Those big muleys sure have the deck stacked against them. Guess that's what makes the big mature ones so cool, they got to make it through a lot of obstacles to get to the point where they become an entirely different species. Just wondering how much of our accuracy enhancing, distance increasing toys they can take before we look back and wish it would have been more of our hunting skill than the gadgets we acquire to become successful. Archery is my favorite, but it's hard not to get wrapped up with the long range crowd. Will it ever stop, or will we be talking about 1,500-2,000 yarders in the next 10 years. Just thinking out loud.
