      Those were amazing shots considering how much .338 lapua drops at that distance. But it would have still been carrying around 1900ft/lbs of energy. That's very ethical but the bullet would have slowed enough it may not expand properly. All depends on what bullets they were using.

    I’m sure you’ll have heard it before…..shooting distance like this for targets is one thing. For game, it’s reckless and irresponsible. Too many things can happen between the shot and impact - that’s not opinion, that’s fact. The mark of a great hunter is not over the horizon marksmanship. It’s the ability to engage game within 2-300yds and consistently deliver a one shot kill every time. You’ve obviously spent enough time at the range, and I commend you on that. It’s time to spend more time actually hunting. Don’t be lazy. Do the work. The game you hunt deserves it.

Not a shot I would take unless I had to fill my freezer but glad to know I could. Do you use an UTV to get to the animal?

    900-1000 yards is where the 338 Lapua excells it was designed as a sniper round that has a maximum effect range of 1600 yards but has been used effectively well past 2000 yards
    A 338 Lapua will push a 300 grain bullet at 2800fps/mv
    In the hands of a competent well practiced shot a 960 yard shot on a moose sized vital area is both ethical and very make able. With a 300 grain bullet a 338 LM still has very close to 2k foot-pounds of impact way more than enough to kill anything in North America

      The guts? And ruin more meat?
      The destruction you would get shooting at 30yds is way worse than the destruction at 960yds little buddy! Thats becaiuse of something called ballistics! The closer you are...the more power the bullet has!!! Isn't that neat little buddy? You blow really big holes when you're up close and small holes when your further away!

Just like your supposedly sick over seeing someone place not only ONE precise shot at long distance BUT, two! And this whole analogy of, "SNEAKING UP SO CLOSE YOU CAN SMELL THE ANIMAL and MAKING AN ETHICAL KILL" also peeves me to no end. ITS OLD LOGIC, OLD MEN!!! Get with the times. Better equipment like scopes, gunpowder, bullets, rangefinders, ballistic apps and tons of practice is what makes this ETHICAL! They didn't have all this tech back in the 1930's, the 50's, the 70's, the 90's and before which is were this old logic comes from. Or from guys who bow hunt and love to tell you, "the closer you get, the better". Bow Hunters get so egotistical when they tell stories of "i was so close to the deer, i could have pulled ticks off his hide"! Good for you, that's just one way to kill and I guarantee ya, your deer ran at least 50 yrds before it crashed! KEEP YA'LLs HUNTING BELIEFS TO YOURSELVES!

      "SO CALLED HUNTERS"...bullshit!. I've been hunting big game before most folks on this page were sperm. That was a nice shot for sure. The problem is a lot folks who take those shots don't pull it off and the animal ends up wounded, gut shot or worse. If you think todays firearms, scopes, range finders, etc are going to bail you out you're wrong. Talk to some of Africa's PH or pro guides in Alaska and elsewhere. Most folks they take out on a hunt couldn't hit a barn door at 500 yards. But they show up with the latest caliber and start launching shots.
      I'm a pretty damn good shot and load my own so I know where they print. I wouldn't have taken that shot. Everyone can do what they want but sooner or later you're going to wound animals if you keep it up. Learn to hunt first. For Christ sake it's a moose not a Antelope or Bighorn. If you take your time you can walk to within 100 yards before they get suspicious. Move in as close as you can before taking a shot next time.

I'll answer that for you,,, NONE. They harvested this animal and it was a quick kill but I'll argue all day that this is the exception.

Paper targets are for testing your shooting skills. Hunting is for testing every other skill like being quiet and sitting patiently, tracking, wind management, luring and calling…. There’s simply none of that applied when you pull up on a hill in your 4x4, lie down and put your 6-foot long tactical rifle on a sandbag and plug a clueless game animal from 1,000 yards and then drive right to him and throw him in the back.

      All I'm hearing I think is some maybe some jealousy mixed with a lack of empathy and understanding.
      Whether you shoot an animal at 300 or 1000...you are by definition hunting.
      Had that animal popped out at 50 I would have shot him...i think most guys would. In either case the freezer got filled.
      The question is can a person do it with precision and not just wound an animal. I get plenty of bow hunts throughout the year and I think frankly that anybody who uses a firearm has an unfair advantage on their quarry. When your hunting with any weapon, my philosophy is simple...
      Practice as far as you can to find your outer personal limits.
      Mine happens to be 1500yds with a rifle and 140 with a bow.
      Peel back some yardage, and that's the distance you will be confident in while hunting.
      My max bow range might be 80-90 based on the situation and animal.
      Your way of hunting is understandable, but by no means do you get to decide if mine is out of line. I guarantee you...if you had the hardware and the ability and confidence... you would have squeezed one off too if you were given the same opportunity. The problem is...not many people have the ability or the stubborn nature needed to be proficient at that distance. It takes alot of work and sacrifice to be a good shot out that far...years of work as a shooter.
      For your average weekend warrior...it's probably not going to happen in their lifetime.

    As long as the animal's meat and other parts are used to feed and good use by people, hunting is ethical. It is no different than predators hunting their prey in nature. The other important fact is that hunting is maybe 1% the shooting and 99% going there, finding the legal game, waiting patiently for the right ethical shot, skinning and butchering the game, etc. The last part and the amount of effort and time it takes definitely makes the hunter to really respect the game and nature as it is no easy job by any means!

    It got hit 9 out of 11 shots(using Remington model 7600 pump action open sight & Remington 180 gr. psp bullets)
    I don't know the distance when the moose disappeared on my front sight.
    & only 1 time too I caught a caribou running full speed at approximately 500 yards. Never shot like that again since those times.

      So I guess I don't know what you are even talking about!
      Even at 200yds you need to be quiet...downwind..etc and not let him know you are there.
      In other words...if your a good hunter...you never give them a FAIR chance. It would mean showing yourself and running the animal off. It would mean shooting at a running animal and therefore make it impossible or unethical to shoot.It would mean going home empty handed more than likely...and make you a terrible unsuccessful hunter!
      I swear you people don't think before you weigh in and make fools of yourselves.

      Isn't it funny that it's always the guys complaining about long range hunting who haven't invested the incredible amount of time to learn long range ballistics, wind calling, mirage reading, bullet drops, interior, exterior and terminal ballistics, precision reloading, painstakingly accurate load development not to mention the incredible amount of money spent on good gear, custom builds, top quality optics such as spotters binos and scopes, lapua brass, good dies, presses, many range days conducting trial and error testing with powder and bullet combos, ballistics solvers, laser range finders, bag, bipod, dope log books, etc.
      I think the real problem with these guys who are complaining isn't about the actual long range hunting, it's about their own jealousy of not having the time, resources or money, or a combination of all 3 to do it themselves so they take a notch out of someone's else's passion, hobby, efforts and successes to try to compensate for their lack of ability(s) to do it themselves.
      All hunters and gun owners should be in this together, not casting stones at eachothers methods.
      By the OP's logic then only a true hunters should be wearingtaw hide mukluks, fur hides and using a flint knapped sinu bound spear head on a stick to hunt.

    All the fudds and keyboard warriors in here saying that this is unethical and isn't good sport. Firstly, what defines a "sporting hunt"? Is there a certain range limit? What weapons are you allowed to use? What species are on the table? In what exact ways does a hunter need to act for it to be considered proper? Is any hunting fair unless it is meticulously stalked until you are close enough to hit it with a rock, which gives it the best chance to escape? All of these comments are utterly ridiculous and are from people that most likely spend all of their time "hunting" from a tree stand shooting game from 40 yards away in a field. Hunting SHOULD be ethical, but hunting is more important for conservation and natural maintenance than your perspective of ethics. If people only hunted as you described, we would not have any hunters because almost nobody has the time, finances, skill, drive, and resources to hunt in that way. Additionally, telling people how they can or cannot hunt is extremely arrogant and entitled, especially when you are most likely not capable of replicating those same feats. I don't want to hear about how you "REAL bow hunters" took a deer at -16 yards with a primitive bow and an arrow made of sharpened wood while being covered in mud and feces makes you a real man. Nobody cares. Hunting is not about being a man, but about doing what is good for nature and encouraging self sufficiency. Now please, shut the fuck up.

      Shot 1...single lung and liver...dead moose.
      Shot 2...double lung...quicker death...not necessary but appropriate.
      I did the autopsy...not you. I saw the effectiveness of this load.
      It was a quick death with very little waste.
      Way to go commenting on something you weren't there for. How arrogant you must be to speak like that on something you have no clue about.

      @@MattBlomquist-wl9kkI know first hand the work that goes into getting a moose out of the woods. What did you leave behind because you got this out in the middle of nowhere.

      Did you read the above?
      It hasn't changed...even a year later.
      Spinal column and guts were left behind.
      Next year my answer will be the same too

    So many "hunters" say that its not about killing or for sport, its about feeding your family. Here is somone who didn't need the "thrill" of getting in close to do just that. He took 2 shots and the animal went down enough said.

    Laughing gives us hunters a bad name. Have some respect.

      Amen
      Shoot and have a near perfect impact...at over a half mile...and remain completely stoic after you get it done and don't screw it up.
      Don't you dare let out some relief laughs or you might offend some snowflake.
      The same snowflake who wouldn't have the balls to say anything right to your face if he was standing in attendance to that experience.
      The same snowflake who would be the giggling like the school girl they are if they were there.
