i actually am more calm at farther distances on animals....
I don’t think the shot in itself is that hard, but it’s pretty easy for a deer to jump the string at that distance. Elk would be different I would think.
I'll be the crazy guy speaking in absolutes. 64yds is too far on a whitetail no matter the situation. There is too much a whitetail can do from that distance. It doesn't matter how well practiced a guy is when the deer moves and is unpredictable.
Luckily he recovered the deer, but that is a low percentage shot no matter who you are.
I agree but in the end it's his to live with if he wounds and loses it.
think about it this way, it is just fine to take a .300 and shoot an animal from 700-1000 yards on tv with almost no complaining, then a guy shoots a toad at 64yds with a bow and everyone jumps him. we have all watched those long rifle shots, from mountain to mountain, and see the vapor trail and see that it takes like 3 seconds for the bullet to get there.....so, we always say as bowhunters "alot can happen in 20yds" alot more can happen at 64yds...............but a lot can happen at 1000 with a rifle. i like to get up close,but, i practice out to 60 and will have no issue taking a shot at that range.
No I don't think that's hunting. Just ****ed good shooting. To me it shows a lack of respect for what hunting is.
I don't like the feeder thing. But it is how things are done in Texas. When I hunt Missouri it's trails and edges.
I practice long shots with my bow but mostly to refine my form and challenge myself. I know my limits and stick to them. I have to live with my choices. Be it to pass a shot on an animal I could have made but was outside of my personal limit or the ones I just made a bad shot on and didn't get them.
I guess that's every hunters thing to consider. Just most of us don't do it on TV.
Still hasnt replied to your letters, phone calls, or appeals to the restraining order, eh?
HAHA!! She's easy on the eyes but just flat out annoys me with her voice and over the top attitude on show like a little teenage girl. And the Rascal Flatts fling incident doesn't sit well with me.
