[QUOTE="Meelosh, post: 289011, member: 3011"] I’ll play devils advocate here, with the immediate disclaimer that it boils down to your own personal ethics. If you know you can make a 500+ yard shot, go right ahead. I certainly can’t but I’m not about to draft legislation that says you can’t. With that said, there is only so much wildlife. We have gotten exceedingly more efficient at harvesting it. The amount of info available, the new gadgetry that comes out everyday, etc. It has become all the easier to outpace our wildlife recruitment. Yes, we need to recruit hunters and grow the sport. But we also need to think long term when it comes to wildlife management. It’s not as simple as we need to make every effort to make hunting as easy as possible for everyone. I wish it was but that’s not reality. Hunting SHOULD BE TOUGH. You should have to feel some frustration. You should have some times when you don’t successfully fill a tag. I don’t like that this societal idea of “everything should be easy” is bleeding into hunting. So no, I don’t say we should somehow regulate that you can only take a shot at a distance that every single person can make. I’m not calling for any other restrictions either baiting, trail cameras etc. But maybe more of us should challenge ourselves to not take an easy way out. I now leave you time to flame away. [/QUOTE]
