"I couldn't agree more. A few years ago there was an article in Precision Shooting about 1000 yard deer hunting, which I consider an abomination, and it went on to mention shooting a black bear at that range."

These are not hunters they are shooters!

I can understand 300 yards, but 1000, never! I have even finished game at over 400, but I choose less than 100 with a good stalk as often as I can. I do not care how good you think you are or really are, you cannot guarantee a humane one-shot kill at 1000 yard in a game hunting situation. I recently was told of an elk hunter with a 338 Lapua and a 750-yard kill. He did and it took three follow-up shots. He was very proud of his new gun and kill, but I was disgusted!

Shooter does not = HUNTER!
