Also when I said a couple hundred yards, I was thinking more like 300 than 200, since some folks want to split hairs.
That really gets to my point. There is no hard line in the sand. Some of the examples used by hunters in this thread I agree are a little much. But, there are rifleman out there who are uncanny in their ability to make a shot that I would never attempt. Reliably.

Also, what you see in your mind as a hunting situation can vary wildly from waht another guy is doing. He has no more interest in your thoughts on hunting than you do in his.


Ultimately, it is the individual's decision depending on his experience and talent, and throwing out any accusations of what is moral,ethical, and what you call hunting in a forum will usually get you in a argument that no good will come from.

It's about time !! ..
Not hard for some folks to provide answers to questions you did not ask. It happens all to often. Your original post was a good one. ...



Be Safe !!!
