How about learning to hunt?
Long range target practice on live animals is beneath contempt.
Warren Dean way to add to this thread. Here is a definition for you.
"Hunt" or "hunting" means shooting, shooting at, pursuing, taking, attempting to take,
or killing any game animals and game birds; searching for or attempting to locate or
flush any game animals and game birds; luring, calling, or attempting to attract game
animals and game birds; hiding for the purpose of taking or attempting to take game
animals and game birds; and walking, crawling, or advancing toward wildlife while
possessing implements or equipment useful in the taking of game animals or game
birds. The term does not include possessing or using photographic equipment.
That is from the ND century code. So in ND it is hunting.
I say to each their own within reason. I try to shoot long range so I walk out well before first light and get into position. I sit in position or lay in position depending where I am hunting that day. Many have tried to tell me that is only a exercise in shooting. This comes from the guys who have not walked more than a few feet after shooting a deer from the pickup window.
What I take from your post is you can not do it so you think no one else should be allowed to do it. Please feel free to start a new thread and tell us about your most memorable spear kills since you know how to hunt?
