    Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

    With the advances in optics, ballistics, bipods/tripods and overall rifle accuracy - is it true that hunters are taking shots at game at greater distances than before (say before year 2000.)
    Or is game more wary, facilitating the need for longer shots?
    If you can ethically take a 400m shot, is there any need to stalk closer in?

    Just interested to hear your views.
