On hunting with less efficient weapons

[willfrye027]

Honest question. What is PJ country? All the bluster of comparing hunt methods aside, I haven't heard of that part of the country.

It’s a big world out there..

Lots of dudes on this site and not on this site who treat rifle hunting more like archery and are quite capable at long range.

Sometimes out west, you cannot easily get closer and a long range shot is the only one you will get. Guys train and prepare for that kind of thing, we have a yearly completion of sorts if you want to search the Cold Bore Challenge.

I looked at that thread. The shots are impressive I'll give you that.

Is it this forums culture to answer questions with cryptic messages followed by ...? I'm not trying to be snarky, actual question. If so I'll play along and do my part.

Some people just find the corn on the cob...

You made a some pretty bold and definitive statements about shooting long range, and also seem to be unfamiliar with one of the major habitat types in the west (PJ=pinyon juniper).

So yes my comment is somewhat tongue in cheek. If you honestly have to ask what situation would require a shot beyond 300 yards, it calls into question your level of experience hunting western game. If you throw around judgement based on limited experience you are going to get razzed a bit around here.

Its a lifestyle, some guys just wouldn't get it...
