I do not want to be linked with supporting the notion of 1,000 yard deer shooting. As I mentioned, when you have a place like mine where you have a couple miles of fringe and critter activity all along it, the notion of "what if" has to cross your mind at some point.

As I have stated before, I shoot enough at 200 yards to keep my deer shooting as close to 100 as I can!

There are so many "little details" that go along with 1,000 yard big game shooting as others here are mentioning and alluding to;

Time-to-impact, wind, followup, range estimation, etc. Truth is, even if a fellow could eliminate every element but the distance to the target around here, FOR THE MOST PART, it would very frequently be difficult just to find THE SPOT where the critter was standing at the shot. It is not as easy as it sounds, sometimes even with a 200 yard shot. There can be a lot of terrain between the shooter and 1,000 yards out.

But, yes, there are places where it is done, and I guess in reality, if we can categorically state that the shooting of big game at 1,000 yards or something like it is unethical, so, in my opinion, is shooting only a box or two of bullets before hunting season commences. In reality, i have more a problem with the latter because that practice, in fact, loses more game every year than the thousand yarders if only because of frequency.
