Wasn't there but 700 yards with the right gun in the right caliber in the right hands is a very ethical shot. Sounds like all 3 were present in this situation so my hats of to your son.

No way to get any closers to the Elk but saying that my son and I target practice out to 1000 yards on a regular basis. We have custom guns from Gunwerks and the G7 rangefinder is almost cheating, If we weren't 100% confidant in making a long shot we would not take the shot.
Heck they’re killing elk here with muzzle loaders at 400+ yards, nothing primitive about muzzleloader hunts anymore.
Good for you! I have asnt trying to rip on you and sounds like you guys do it right. I see so many guys take their off the shelf 700 slap a $100 scope and think they are a 1000 yard shooter. Again thanks for explaining
