>>Granted a 600 yard shot is impressive, but it also means you don't have to really sneak up on something to shoot it. I'd be more impressed if somebody took it out with a black powder pistol. (Remember when Elmer Keith used to hunt Kodiaks with a 44 mag pistol?)

>>A rifle and a scope means marksmanship over backwoodsmanship. Sniper stuff. I am pretty impressed with bow-hunting though

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
