That isn't hunting. That is sniping.
I live and hunt in the oak/pine forests of the NE. Hunting is close for the most part.
If I lived and hunted in the park like settings out West I would hunt with long range weapons for those distances. It’s determined by the terrain.
Knew a fella from VA who hunted with dogs. The dogs drove deer in front of posts where you shot the deer with buckshot. That to me is not hunting deer but shooting deer.
