This post sounds really interesting, but my computer won't handle the load. Would one of you that has been able to view it mind posting a synopsis of it. Would be very appreciative of that. Thanks--tr |

Don't really care who it is or how they are doing it. If it's on live unwounded animals it's a stunt. Random wind or animal movement and you have a wounded animal an hour away. |

but can anyone tell me just what a "Texas heart shot" is? |

Bill - I respect what you say but just can't find it in me to agree with you - not that that matters a damn to you or anyone else - if, as you say, people are not placing shots at 50 yds. then they shouldn't be permitted to point a gun at a live target. I learned to shoot at live targets 40 years ago, the difference being that if you didn't get it right first time the target shot back at you! Taught me to place my shots carefully, I can tell you! |

I've seen people who can't hit a milk jugg at 100 yards out deer hunting and I've seen people who take and make 500+ yard shots without thinking. It all comes down to skill and staying within your limits and comfort zone. I think its impressive what these guys can do but as I stated initially, the vast majority of people out there shouldnt be even thinking about shots this long. -DallanC |

Unethical? Ya know, after 46 years of hunting, reloading and building rifles( doing the work,not just writing checks) I've seen damn near everything. I've seen deer with jaws shot off ,legs missing,gutshots and few laying that just were never found. Here in east, the normal range on whtetails is under 50 yards,yet these things happen. Whats ethical about that? Is unloading 5-6 rounds at a running deer ethical? Texas heart shots? |

Does range determine how ethical the hunt may be regardless of skill level and equipment? Because you don't or can't, is it unthical? You never missed or had to track an anmal? Wind,tree limbs or lighting never affect your shots? Ever put more than one round in the gun? Why? Some of the best archery hunters routinely have to track deer,some only found the following day. Unethical???? Unless you have "been there,done that" I suggest you explore the subject before making an uneducated opinion. Stunt? Gimmick? Luck? Safe to say they didn't buy their guns and ammo at Wally World the day before the hunt. Take the time(a few years!) ,get with the guys that shoot long range and spend a measley couple thousand dollars trying it. You just might get an education. |
