Re: How close is dangerous?

There is an infamous arab on the internet who has shot hundreds of cape buff with a .375/404. Viewing his films they are almost all shot at a couple hundred metres away ... or at least a minimum of a hundred metres .... he evidently does not like getting close ....
One might as well shoot just impalas and springboks instead if sniping DG at long ranges ....
This was my point. Modern weapons allow us to KILL game from 100s of meters away. NOTHING on four legs is dangerous at that distance and these hunters do not deserve to say they hunted dangerous game.
Again, I can see the skills required for long range shots BUT its not DANGEROUS. If the animal cant hurt you from where you take the shot you werent in any danger. I might even go so far as to say they should be ridiculed but what good would that do? So instead I will applaud those who do hunt dangerous game Dangerously!
