[QUOTE="AndyBensing, post: 970002, member: 80432"] Great article Mathew. I really enjoyed it and it could not have come at a better time for me. After shooting 2 buck the last 2 years at 50yds with my crossbow, my previous maximum, I decided to go long range this year. I am working on some new equipment and think I will be comfortable to 100 yd this season. I have always been a permanent or ladder tree-stand hunter with a vertical bow or crossbow in the past and before I read your article I did not even give a thought to the versatility/ease of mobility that my decision to go long range gives me with the convenience of hunting from the ground. Incidentally, you mentioned you hunt in MD. I get down that way very often and especially in hunting season. I don't hunt there much but I track in MD 40 or 50 times a season for guys who have not been able to find there wounded deer. I have leashed blood tracking dogs. As mentioned in the article, plenty of 20 yard shots go off course for one reason or another. In my opinion, if a 100 yard shooter feels just as confident as the 20 yard shooter then the there is nothing unethical with the 100 yard shot. I track plenty of 25 yard shots gone awry with my dogs. Here is one. [/QUOTE]
