How do you know it's a Marine Sniper?  The thread on the other site where I got it said it was.. It's on the internet it has to be true, right?  |

After thinking about this, I feel that this time it worked out well, and was cool to see. However, I definately don't think it is responsible hunting, and definately could do some harm when people try to imitate it and wound game or worse yet shoot a person by accident.

Very impressive shooting skills, but that's not hunting in my book.

Very impressive shooting skills, but that's not hunting in my book. I would tend to agree. For me, LR shooting of game animals is just that, long range shooting. Not hunting. For vermin- coyotes, prarie dogs, etc, shoot away. However, where do you draw the line? What's long range and what's not? For some people (and I've known a few of these types) long range is anything past about 75 yards. Others have the ability and equipment to consistently make killing shots at 500++ yards..... It's a debate that will go on for a long time. I have my set limits for myself, and I may have my opinions on what shots should and shouldn't be taken, but for cases like these I won't be the one to say they should or should not have taken the shot. Long range hunting debates are just another dividing line between hunters....................................... |

Impressive "shooter"
Not much of a "hunter" IMO

Alas, the divide still is strong........
To kill the beast without suffering is the way of the hunter, regardless of weapon used....

If he is really a sniper I would say that is some good training there. My brother in law is a sniper for a police swat team.

Quite a shot from what I could see. Not very clear. But definitely a better than average shooter. Marine sniper, Army sniper, Seal sniper,does not matter definitely trained for long long range shooting. Hunting, well he hunted to find the animal that he wanted to take. It is just a matter that he did not have to close the distance down to the average hunters comfort range. You hunt to find the game. You shoot to kill said game. While both are classified as the hunting experience they are only parts of the hunt.
