That >is a very >irresponsible and unethical thing to do. When I was in the Marine Corps, the longest range for marksmanship training is 500 yards. Marines consistently hit the bullseye at this range with the sights alone. With a scope attached to a 30.06, 500 yards is child's play. It is no more unethical to drop a deer at 500 yards than at 100 yards. I've dropped more deer than I can remember, yet I doubt any were closer than 400 yards. Now, woodchucks at 300 yards is a different story. :) -- trvolk@mail.com
