50 cal. deer hunting......WTF!!!

[blacktaill]

That is rediculas !! Giving us a bad image with that crap! 

[bornforhorns]

First thing that comes to my mind is SAFETY!  They should have their licenses taken away, Judging by their shooting I'm guessing they have no idea what maybe behind those deer. 

I've said it before, anything over 300 yards is not hunting...you haven't fooled any animal.  Those who archery hunt would say 50 yds and I've done that too.  Personally 200yds or less with a Modern Firearm on deer I don't feel bad about and more importantly I feel responsible.

40 yds with a bow for me is stretching it.

*censored*s gives a bad name to the guys that put in countless hours shooting long range to make that one ethical shot!!!!

THose *censored*s give the rest of us *censored*s a bad name...

[gaddy]

that is not hunting and in no way should it be compaired to hunting.

1000yd gut shot...

Just the BS Murray and her ilk love to get a hold of...

if they were competent shots and not missing so much, i've got no problem with it.  but to just spray lead downrange - even down LONG range - doesnt do much for me.  the fact that they use tracers despite their poor accuracy is dumb.  

i'm very impressed by those that take the time required on the range and can make ultra long shots.  these guys dont qualify.

Simply amazingly stupid!

Too bad the state where they did this cannot revoke their licenses until they pass a basic Hunter's Safety course. Most 10 year olds that take a Hunter's Safety course can tell these pos's are violating almost every tenant of basic hunting safety practices. And I didn't know tracer rounds were legal for big game hunting.

I see more and more states are making moves to ban the 50 BMG's. After seeing this video they have some good propaganda.

whats sad is a whole hella lot people think its really cool..the whole video industry is destroying hunting tradition,everyone has to get that 10 minutes of fame,or sell something..

I couldnt agree more, This pisses me off and then I hear guys (not guys on this forum) say how cool this crap is, and of course when some *censored* sees a video like this they think they can kill a deer at 1000 yards All it does is make us ethical hunters look bad to those who don't know any better.

I was laughing most of the time what a stupid group of people right there! I would be embarrassed to show my face on that video.

[JimmyHoffa]

Too many people out there believing that they can do what they see on TV and in movies.  There are a few people that are actually proficient with the long range equipment, so I would hate to see them lose their niche due to clowns like these.  

[Deep Forks]

This is absolutely ridiculous, using live animals as practice targets.    The first deer shot was hit in the rear-end, got up and run off.  They need their
f---ing ass kicked which might push their brain back up where it belongs or at least farther inside their torso so they're not sitting on it for such long periods of time.    I don't see the fun in this at all.  There's a lot of difference between the hunters that are proficient in long range shots and these *censored*s.

F***ing idiots

*Disclaimer* I am not defending them.

These guys are not bad shots and the tracers are not any more innaccurate than a normal round.  Everyone thinks that the .50cal BMG is so accurate.  It's not true.  M-24 7.62mm (.308) sniper rifle is FAR more accurate than the M-107 .50cal sniper rifle.  The .308 round has a sub 1" MOA where the .50cal has a 3.5" MOA.  You are not going to get a good group at 1,000 meters with the .50cal compared to the .308 no matter how hard you try.   So its not so much that these guys suck its just they are shooting a weapon and a round that was not meant or designed for long range precision shooting. 

I would like to bring up another myth that the .50cal shoots like a lazer out to two miles or whatever the distance is.  If you notice those tracer rounds all arced down at an extremely high angle.  Almost like someone was shooting at them from the air.  I don't know the drop of a .50cal at 1,000 meters but for those wannabe snipers out there that think that they know how high to hold at long ranges just because they have shot out to 300meters.  THink about this.  For an M-24 sniper rifle that has its zero set at 300meters.  At 1,000 meters that round will drop 360 inches aka 30 feet. 

In Iraq our snipers HATED the M-107 .50cal.  They only used it if they were in a static position and the commander forced them to use it.  If given the choice they went out with the M-24 bolt action 7.62mm/.308.   And could and did smoke dudes in the face at 1000meters.  But, they were properly trained.  Not every azzhat can do this.  And no azzhat can do this stuff without training.

I have 2 kids in the military! Have nothing but respect for those who protect our freedom!!! But, this is far from hunting!!! Disrespectful to anyone that carries a gun or bow!!! If you enjoy it far be it from me to judge you but, I was raised to respect the animals we hunt??? Could you actually have a smile on your face and be proud of this S_ _ t!!! I wouldn't want my picture taken!!! Things sure have changed!!!
