I mean, I know ALOT of people who shouldn’t shoot beyond 100 yards. I realize there are guys that CAN shoot to 600 and beyond, but the cavalier attitude by both parties about the range looses me.

I think I could rent a typical Holiday Inn, and house all the legitimate 600+ yd field shooters in this country. And no one would have to share rooms.

I say that maybe partially in jest, but the number of true 600+ yd killers is a fraction of the people who think they are. They certainly exist, and I know at least 1 personally, but that bar is much higher than people think.

That was only part of the issue here, but it was an issue nonetheless. I believe the people I typically hunt with would have figured it out in a courteous fashion, if it had ever got to that point.

Amen, I tell this to people all the time. It’s like all the exposed turret scopes and range finders make people think they are Bob Lee swagger. Totally skip the whole part about learning to shoot and practicing to shoot… oh and practicing to STALK!

You're probably not far off. A lot of people can shoot 600+ in field "positions" but very few can do it in field "situations". The difference between the two is who can differentiate and accept a non-opportunity based on the conditions. If it takes you 15 seconds to set up and take an ethical straightforward 600 yard shot and the deer was only in the open for 10 seconds... then it wasn't your opportunity. Try again or move on. Both of these parties failed in that category, no hotel rooms for them!

Yes. There's a big difference between those "positions" and "situations". Well put.

Sorry, low hanging fruit with this one. I'll retire to my mom's basement now.

I read part 1 of 5 and stopped here:

"I do feel badly that Rachelle felt like I was pushy. I do get intense when I’m trying to recover a wounded animal, and in this case I knew that we needed to push the buck to keep it bleeding. If the buck was allowed to bed up and his wound coagulated he would be nearly impossible to track down and recover"

Never in my 35 years of hunting have I ever heard this BS. You are always taught to let them bed up.

Except when you know you don't have a lethal shot on it and ate trying to follow breadcrumbs so you can lob more lead.

So you're telling me a gun writer with a goofy hat (really hat or not) is a bottom of the barrel bottom feeder....strange.

Aron Snyder touted the "sometimes you have to push them to keep them bleeding" on podcasts for a bit.
