I think that's one heck of an expensive deer. Trackingpoint looked like it was going under in May but they're selling again according to Ars Technica. I'd have to have a lot of rich fellers creating a baseline of wounds versus clean kills before I suspected it wasn't ethical, but it isn't really what I'd call a hunt. I suppose you could zot them from space if you had sufficient resources, but that's not exactly a hunt either. It'd be kind cool, though...

Well there was that one company that had a robot with a rifle on it on their ranch, and you could control the robot over the internet from the comfort of your couch. That’s going a bit too far I think... especially cuz they probably didn’t even send you the venison if you made a kill!

A lot depends on the terrain...The 1200 yard shot is excessive, IMO...The longest shot I’ve taken was approx. 425 yards over a soybean field in Middle Tennessee with .270 cal Remington... No way to stalk over the flat, open terrain...Other than that, the longest I’ve taken is about 30 yards in woodlands...
