where do you draw the line at what range is "too far" or "not hunting"? Its all personal choice...
2-3 hrs to get to the animal??? Man where do you guys come up with this stuff??? If you can do it, and am confident with the shot, take it!!! Its not for me but I have shot an elk at 550 and a deer at 450...I would do it again when given the opportunity!!! Lots of b/s out there like the guys who shoot their bow a couple days before the season and then go fling arrows at game!!! Atleast these guys practice their stuff, and know their weapons!!!!
I dont have a issue if the person can make that shot, to me its not hunting anymore, its killing or shooting... big diff IMO

Don't forget to knock all the hunters that drive around glassing clearcuts and reprod, spot one, then get out of the truck and shoot it. That doesn't involve a stalk or any more work than shooting something at 500 yards. Oh and don't forget to bash all the guys who shoot deer standing in the road when they come around the corner. I guess that's all just killing eh?
Heck I bet at least 90%+ of people on here have taken animals like that. I guess we are all just killers not hunters.

I hate to see what ends up on the cutting room floor of shows like these. Trophyhunt, welcome to the site. Maybe you or someone who watches the show knows if they use ballistic calculators or dope cards for these long shots? Or is all of this supposed to be in their scope system with a graduated reticule?

dont even get me started on best of the west i cant stand that show it is a shameless plug to sell huskema optics and gunwerks long range rifles, after every kill they have to use the rest of the show to explain how if you too buy this system you can make these same shots and then at the end they say one or two words about practice, but i think they should stress the practice more because im sure there are probably about 10000 *censored*es out there right now with these "shooting systems" who dont shoot more than 20 rounds a year at 200 yards and think that they too can shoot 600-1000 yards. i quit watching that show long ago
