Thread: Video for Long Range Hunters...

Anyway back to the topic.

Was talking to cuz in Colorado a few days ago and he's saying there's a fair bit of pushback on the long range community over there at the moment, at least amongst his local networks heading into deer season. Been a bit of an uptick in gossip amongst the PH community there, along the lines of a well known outfitter having had a battle with members of the client group taking videos of hit-but-fail-to-kill long range shot on game, unpleasant panic follow up shots, lost animal.... and the outfitter potentially risking loss of control of what happens to the video. A Youtube failure of long range 'celebrity' and running gutshot game animals wouldn't be good for business etc etc. Bad look all round. Some of these guys have sponsors...

Funny how things come back to bite you. I was trying to set up my next week down on the hunting block today and I got some info that was a bit of a relief in one way, but a sobering reminder in another. I'll write it up on the relevant thread.
