check out my long shot of 800 metres with a tikka 222. u can see the bullets vapour trail clearly

@usarmycaptainamerica
actually we shoot tahr at over 1km bout 1100 yards and its perfectly humane they dont know the bullet coming they dont even know they dead, we use large calibers with alot of force behind them so that they have enough kinetic energy to kill instantly at those distances, we only make headshots and we dont let anyone who isnt experienced enough take a shot because we dont want them to only injure and not kill the animal.

gotta see it to belive it
May 13th, 2010 - 06:26
830 yards…… why?
May 13th, 2010 - 06:49
That kind of extreme shooting is shitty if cruel if the animal is only injured.
That is too far out to get a quick follow up shit had he only injured the animal.

@MrBarrnunn If you read the comments of other people who replied here, many of them hunters, you can definately see it’s not an ethical thing to do, shooting game from extreme distances with a high chance of injury instead of death. You admit it yourself that you are new to hunting, so who are you to be preaching about it? There is no way you can deny, that if the guy injured that elk it would have been a lot harder to track him because he shot him from so far away, that’s just selfish.

I would love to eat fresh hunted game over preserved, farm raised, transported grocery meat. Bottom line, great shot, she killed it, he’s ate well, you’re just hating. Congratulate him and move on. How about instead of you all crying about this guy shooting an animal half a mile away, you cry and go picket at the slaughter houses where animals really don’t have a chance.
May 13th, 2010 - 08:32
Sometimes, the only shot you get is a 5 second window, and you make the best of it do your best. And who are you to say that someone can hunt to provide. So what they can go to a grocery store, they are not limited to that. It is alot more pure and clean to eat hunted meat than store meat. Also, you pay about $4/lb avg for meat in stores, but when you get game, you can freeze it and that will last you for weeks all for the price of the ammo.

@lucastimmer How can you say to only take a shot when you are sure of it? That is ridiculous! If that were really the case, then there would be only a few hunters. I am new to hunting and every shot I take, I am not sure of it, but I have a shot and try to kill the game. Sureness of shot comes with experience and confidence, which this shooter had. The only thing you need to take a shot is the opportunity.
May 13th, 2010 - 09:23
@MrBarrnunn No kidding, the man shows and mentions the preparations going into this shot. He does it ethically time and time again. In my opinion the best kills are when you beat the animals at their own game… so either at long range or in their beds.
May 13th, 2010 - 09:33
There are way too many idiots out there who will try to imitate this. It winds up giving hunters a bad image in the long run. The guy even says it himself, they don’t have the skills to hunt that bull, so, they took a potshot and prayed. They have zero respect for that bull. If he’d injured it, how would he recover it? Would he even try?
May 13th, 2010 - 10:24
@Loel65
who cares? eat that meat! that elk had to die!
May 13th, 2010 - 11:06
@MrBarrnunn Yeah, like you still need to hunt game to provide for your family or village … This is anno 2010 for christ ’sake! There is nothing wrong with hunting, but the one golden rule when hunting game with a gun or bow is never to shoot if you’re not shure of your shot. When you’re half a mile away from an elk there is no way on earth you can guarantee a good chance of hitting him in the vitals and killing him quickly. This has little to do with hunting, but just macho’s showing off …
May 13th, 2010 - 11:07
@Loel65 Why the arbitrary distinction that it’s only “hunting” if done at close range? Either way the animal dies.
May 13th, 2010 - 11:56
@Loel65 Cool, I never thought of it that way. Also I’m a bit funny about hunting, if I shot something it would have to at least end up being eaten
May 13th, 2010 - 12:10
hunting isn’t even fair anymore, let alone sporting. Hunters need to take on game with one thing, a knife
May 13th, 2010 - 12:51
Awesome Shot! To all those interested we have started filming our long range shooting as well.
May 13th, 2010 - 12:58
wat rifle ?
May 13th, 2010 - 13:50
This is so irritating, give that elk a chance to slip away into the woods. 834 yds is an impressive shot but still ridiculous. The longest shot a person should have to make is maybe out to 300yds.
May 13th, 2010 - 14:31
WOW, you guys are ridiculous. Hunting is supposed to be going out to kill game to eat or provide meat for a family or village. It does not matter how far or close you are, it takes skill to kill an animal in it habitat, regardless of how. All of you sport hunters, which hunt just for fun, need to realize what hunting really is. How can you hate on someone for having such a skilled shot.
May 13th, 2010 - 15:27
awesome shot! 99.99999999999999999% of people in the whole world couldn’t have hit wihin 10 ft of that bull. me in that group, unless there’s a bow that shoots 800 yds.
May 13th, 2010 - 15:41
watch my roo hunting headshot and long shot using a tikka 222.
May 13th, 2010 - 16:41
ishootme – I agree with you, however don’t we hunt for food to supplement what is available at grocery stores or food banks? That said the nutritional value of venison is excellent, so it’s more the quality than the hunger need?
I watched the video again – they said they couldn’t get closer? In that hill country why not? You drop back over the hill and take a long walk around and then sneak a peek to see where the critter is. That’s what you call hunting, as I see it.
May 13th, 2010 - 16:45
@Loel65 coming from a hunter that hunts just about everything, I don’t agree, if i was a animal, i would like to go in a couple of seconds not even hearing the shot, then followed by a bunch of weekend hunters yelling their yeehaws and running up on me before i die. i think this would be a better way of going not even knowing. Hunting hasn’t really been fair since we invented guns, now with this technology we should just be looking at making the animal die quickly without suffering just my idea
May 13th, 2010 - 17:18
how is shooting animals from like a mile away hunting?
May 13th, 2010 - 17:23
Bet those antlers looked PRETTY big to him!
May 13th, 2010 - 17:34
well since that is wayne carlton and hunter specialties dont think you would sell it to that many people.
May 13th, 2010 - 18:13
I am with stearns I would have soiled myself fo sho!!
May 13th, 2010 - 18:26
Don’t know about you , but I don’t have a 1 yard pin on my bow. Just throw the whole thing at him and knock him out.
May 13th, 2010 - 18:56

May 13th, 2010 - 19:15
@DShit dude it would prolly flail its rack at him

May 13th, 2010 - 20:09

I would have just tried to slit it’s throat…. that would be a story
May 13th, 2010 - 20:27

May 13th, 2010 - 21:22

May 13th, 2010 - 21:46

May 13th, 2010 - 21:54

May 13th, 2010 - 22:46
I’ll bet your heart was pounding! Mine was!!
May 13th, 2010 - 22:51
infuckin-credible!! thats all i have to type……….
May 13th, 2010 - 23:08
You have nothing to worry about when surprising an Elk in the rut, they will always flee but Moose are a different story.
May 14th, 2010 - 00:06
This guy surprised the hell out of the elk lolololol but he retreated.
May 14th, 2010 - 00:36
attack
May 14th, 2010 - 01:34
Beautiful animals if you surprise them are they more likely to attack or retreat?
May 14th, 2010 - 01:50
That’s so cool
May 14th, 2010 - 01:54
Wow that was close. I love how the guy didn’t move at all. One of those don’t move a muscle type things. It was also funny how the elk reacted after it got so close and noticed something was strange with that tree trunk (yeah I know it was a guy that’s the point)
May 14th, 2010 - 02:16
that is some crazy shit yo
May 14th, 2010 - 02:18
Insane !!!
May 14th, 2010 - 02:35

May 14th, 2010 - 03:59
i wouldn’t even shoot it, an experience like that would be a live long story. Doesnt seem right to kill it like that.
May 14th, 2010 - 04:44
what a bull!!!!! thats the kind of experiences we live for
