Just a brief aside here

Anyone see these two numbskulls on the Outdoor Channel couple days back on a pronghorn hunt in NE New Mexico with muzzleloader? This jackass takes a shot on a *running* pronghorn at what looks to be well over 200 yards (they don't say how far - wonder why), and he completely misses to the rear of the animal (thank goodness not a gut shot). So they stalk up again - he shoots again - again with a tripod, but this time on a still animal, but completely misses again, to the front of the animal. Third time they tried and stalked up, he hit the buck at 160 yards with his iron-sighted ML.

What a incredibly BAD example to put on TV, showing such an incredibly low-percentage unethical shot as an example to kids and the public of what hunters do. It sickens me, so as a result, the sponsors are going to get an earful from me (including Thompson/Center and Limbsaver). If you saw it too and are equally disgusted, I encourage you too to send a brief note to the sponsors. The show's name was "Limbsaver Outdoor America".

And these guys' "stalk" consist of trotting along slightly bent over. No crawling involved. And they were plenty young enough to try to be stalking more stealthily, and thus getting closer to be more ethical. Absurd. :barf:
