Thread: Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

Or the guy who tells you that he shoots deer at 600 yrds. When asked what rangefinder he is using. The answer is None !!!

By the way what do you call an ethical shot?
I can understand that taking a shot a deer at long distance with minimum training in the past, just a range finder and an app on your phone in breezy conditions is highly unethical.
But when all the hard work is done before , the reloaded ammo adjusted for peak accuracy, all the drop chart downloaded …etc and the bullet still does a gut shot. Is that not also an unethical shot as well?
