interesting... hunting is an word that invokes a process, a series of actions, that, in ideal circumstances lead to a kill... the goal of the hunter is to dispatch the hunted.

how one approaches this may vary, but I think think we can all say that the hunter that does more to ensure he is successful, and reduce the chance of wasted/wounded game... is the better hunter.

with that in mind, there are a host of variables that must be sorted, and it becomes difficult to say what is wrong. killing at extended distances can be done reliably and safely, and humanely.... however, it is just as difficult to kill at great distances reliably, safely, and humanely as it is to learn to get closer and take a high-percentage shot.

also, my primary rifle has been "rebarreled" (from 8mm Mauser!), bedded, and has a scope on it... and while it is not a "high" velocity cartridge by most standards.... using one definitinon listed above would classify my $500 (ok ok, I had the safety done, its $600 now) as something used by a "shooter" and not a "hunter"

ummmmmm

riiiight.
