There looked to be no reason why they couldn't have got closer to take a shot at one of those animals if they were so hell bent on using their peashooter to do the job, typical chest beating asshole americans need to bulldoze them all off a cliff somewhere.

Just to keep things in perspective. The video was made to promote a business - which appears to no longer exist.

Whether you like it or not, and excluding the ethical debate of using a .243 on an animal of that size at that distance, the video would appear to have achieved it's intended purpose - to promote the business of Grey Bull Precision - at that time.
