Thread: Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

Yep, I agree. Social media has a huge influence on hunting these days. The days of inch and a half high at a hundred to shoot anything out to 300yds are gone, and most of us had a lot of trouble estimating 300 yds anyway - is it 280 or 350??
A lot of hunters are just piss-poor shots, but You Tube tells them they can still take long range shots if they've got all the gears and did "alright" out at the range.
Long range shooting is one thing - killing an animal ethically at long range is a completely different matter
