UPDATED VIDEO with NEW MUSIC here - • 60 Long Range Hunting ... Bob and Chris Beck of Extreme Outer Limits www.extremeouterlimitstv.com www.moarifles.com ruggedridgeoutdoorgear.com/ www.starvalleyoutfitterswy.com/
I'm not criticizing anyone and I'll be the first to admit that long shots are impressive, as long as the shooter has practiced well and is capable of making a killing shot at the given yardage. I'm old school and used to working in close, 300 yards or less. There is a challenge to make a good stalk and a clean kill shot. Then again I really enjoy bow hunting and it's for much the same reason. Thanks for the video
Yeah, I personally find taking anything beyond a 400 yard shot to be unethical. I try to stalk in to around 200-300, myself. I've seen too many fucked up Hail Mary shots that lead to an injured animal getting away on the person. I'm out to kill it quick, not make it suffer anymore than it needs to after I pull the trigger
@@LukaTisus got to agree with you, I also wonder just how many animals they wounded and couldn't find. Completely irresponsible hunting, just a bunch of kids trying to impress each other. Been hunting all my life and only the last 10 years or so has this "long range hunting" cropped up, long range shooting should be confined to the range and not something used by lazy slob so called hunters. Some day you children will shoot over another hunter trying to get in close for a certain kill shot and he or she may just beat the soup out of ya.
@@jdurham8581 the reason long range hunting has gotten popular within the last 10yrs is cause the equipment like scopes and long range cartridges have gotten so much better, most of these places u would have to stalk these animals for weeks if u want the within 3 or 4 hundred yard shot its just to open to do that kind of hunting, so spare me your moral outrage u just sound jealous
some amazing shots! but it would have been so much better if caliber, rifle type, cartridge data (factory or handloads), optics, zero & holdover, etc. had been included. nice shooting, folks!
I can appreciate the equipment, skill and practice that it takes to long range shoot. There are a handful of the shorter shots here that I believe you were 100% confident in taking to make an ethical, clean kill. Good for you. Those are shots that are ethical to take and an ethical distance changes with each hunter. My first concern would be that I hope there aren't too many folks out there that think they can do the same without the same equipment and time at the range. Please don't practice in the field! Please! Second, I'm curious how many clean misses and injured game we didn't get to see. I'm guessing it's FAR more than a traditional range. That alone is reason enough for me to personally never want to get into this. Finally, and I believe most importantly, at some of these extreme distances, the animal could realistically take 2-3 steps after the trigger was pulled. You cannot realistically say that you were 100% confident you could make that shot ethically. Regardless of your skill and practice, you cannot bend that bullet after it leaves the gun. In many shots the animal was walking. That's just relying on the hope that they continue at the same pace and don't stop. That's just too big of a margin for error and it has little to do with skill or equipment. I think there has to come a point where too far is too far, even if your success rate is higher than most other guys. Ultimately, videos like this are bad for us as hunters, when those that don't understand the benefits of ethical hunting (conservation, environmental protection, public land advocacy) see videos that glorify the kill and lose the spirit of the hunt.
Amazing but deeply irresponsible to risk wounding an animal just to say you shot it at that range. Different if sniping at enemy soldiers - any enemy is fair game then.
Some awesome shots here, love my long range shooting, just hope it's not encouraging folks to stretch them selves past there ability and we end up coming across wounded animals, keep respect in the forefront of the mind I'd say is the number one rule when your hunting
NOW, That would have to be one of the best hunting vid's long-range kill shot, just simply because of the way you could see those bullets going down range and lobbing in on their targets.AWSOME man.
How do you guys pull this of? I can oly hit a roling target at 80 yards with my Finish 30-06 and it can shoot up 700 yards. I Think that the problem is that in my country it's rare to get a shoot over about 200 yards... Hm that could be the problem i am stupid.
Some of these were pretty impressive, especially the DRT shots. Others looked to be like gut shots. Having been an archery hunter my whole life (western US, so no tree stands), being able to kill an elk, deer, antelope, or bear at several hundred yards is tantamount to magic or telekinesis. Por ejemplo; my fist buck was over 70 yards away , and that is considered a long shot by many archers' standards, especially with a bow pulling only a little over 50 lbs. Although the long-range hunting skill is impressive, I doubt that I would personally get out of it the same thrill that I get out of archery hunting. Cheers.
You know English well enough that you don't have to insert Spanglish. Just say "for example", why do you have to force Spanish into it? It'd also be weird and pretentious if someone's speaking fluent Spanish but randomly inserts English to show off that he also knows English.
MAN, THAT SHOT AT 4:10 IS TOTALLY AWESOME BEING ABLE TO WATCH THE PATH OF THE BULLET. I'VE HUNTED FOR 58 YEARS AND THAT STILL RINGS MY CHIMES!!!!! TOTALLY GREAT SHOT!!!!!
@@tylerjeb7888 Looked to me like it went in right side and out the left shoulder causing it to lift its left leg immediately (burst left shoulder).... then down... Doubt if a hoof shot would've dropped him.
I breathe ,think, sleep, dream, about long range shooting and hunting. There's something about the math and skills needed to execute the perfect shot. people sometimes forget that the shot is the trophy
If the shot is the trophy, that would mean people push for a 'bigger' 'better' trophy, namely a longer shot. at some point the math and skill will run out. All the shots in this video more or less were good kills, but i dread to think of the shots that missed, or much much worse just nicked the animal.
People who are taking these shots are more than like highly trained. Im sure they miss the same or less as uncle joe who dusts of the gun the night before the season opener. Ive hunted with people that only shot their gun during the season at an animal. They dont even shoot it to checked to see if the scope was on. At one point they didnt shoot it for 4 years. I would say the vast majority of hunters dont shoot their rifles nearly enough. I would bet some serious coin that under 10% shoot a box or less each year.
My best shot was on a ground hog. Killed it with the second shot at a little under 360 yards with a Remington .270 using 150 grain Core-Loks (deer loads). That was just after I got out of the Army. I was still very sharp back then. But now 24 years later...I doubt I'm that accurate.
Yes, a while back I also commented about the bad hits. This started a flurry of comments about "Not real hunting". I have no problem with how you hunt. I was at the range with some friends and we were talking about deer hunting and some of the running deer shots we took during deer drives. Somebody standing there commented that he "Would never shoot at a moving deer" and thought it was "Unethical". We just laughed at him. If we did not take running shots, we would never get a deer. Different parts of the country, different traditions. Not all hunting is like around your home.
Shooting at a fast moving deer is not unethical because of a tradional thing. It is because there is so much that can go wrong, even for very experienced shooters. Also in driven hunts there is plenty of opportunity to shoot deer when they arent running but moving at a reasonable pace or they stop, you can call them to make them stop etc. Sure you migth shoot less in numbers, but the shots are far safer
nice shooting i have a custom 243 with 1-8 twist barrel shooting berger 105 grainers im trying to decide on my next rifle im thinking a 28 nosler shooting berger 180's or the new 195 berger elites
I was wondering about Long Range hunting. When you spot an animal do you chose a path that leads farther away or just wait for the animal to get further? When I hunt and see an animal at range I usually try to close the distance. Or am I just totally off base?
Ryan Inslee it all depends on the situation really. If I spot an animal at a long range, but I'm in a difficult spot, I will find the nearest spot to get in the most natural position and still keep my target in-line. Unfortunately as you may know, we usually don't get that luxury. So I would say at least find a better, closer vantage point making sure you don't spook it away, then work from there.
