Ethically speaking how does one count deer antler points at beyond 300?

Not unlike so much of what you read and hear the long range hunting fad reeks of bravado and bullshit! 100 yards becomes 300. 250 yards become 800.

How many hunting stories have you heard where the teller will yap about their 400 yard shot on a deer sized animal and when asked about hold over or drop compensation their answer is merely a dumb look or something of the like?
