BRCC Bear Hunt Series- Shot Ethics

[JStol5]

I want to preface this by saying I am NOT a shot Karen. I normally don't read too much into the ethicality of shots, given the animal dies quick. I'm not giving the BRCC people a hard time, but I'm genuinely curious on where others are at on this.

I wanted to start this thread to get others' perspective and have a reasonable discourse about the shot ethics in the latest episode of this series. It struck me as a bit "out there" as a shot, but then again, I wasn't there, and don't know the precise details. Just what the video shows.

What I saw was that it appears one of the Black Rifle crew shot a running wolf in the head at a distance of approximately 440* yards. I wasn't sure what to think about this, figured I'd get others' perspective.

Here's the link, it's at roughly the 7:30 mark:

Shot ethics don’t apply to wolves in my book.

Wolves and coyotes lead down range

Nothing unethical with a head shot it’s immediate lights out. I don’t see an issue.

Now charging $20 for a pound of crappy BRCC THATS unethical.

Coyotes and wolves? How far can my gun shoot? I’m good at least 300 yards past that.

You hear two shots in the video. In the post walk up interview near the end it sounds like they said he spined the wolf with the first shot then put it down with the head shot. Seemed to be pretty clean to me.

Being that it's a wolf, they could have shot it in the guts and let it run off to die and no one would care.

Also for what it's worth, Logan Stark (the guy who shot the wolf) is a Marine Scout Sniper.

You start by saying your not a "shot karen" then everything you mentioned sure does sound like one. Your thread title alone is misleading and click bait.

Here is some info that may comfort you. USMC S/S's train on movers well past 400 yards, my last deployment we regularly had holds and leads over 800, and that was on dinosaur A1's.

Dude made a good shot because he was highly trained and proficient. There is nothing unethical about it.

It's a dead wolf.

???? What does your comment have to do with this thread's topic of it being an ethical shot?


Are you inferring a skilled shot on a moving target is a marketing ploy? Or that skilled shooters are braggadocios? You sound angry. If you don't like their coffee, don't buy it. I don't.

Not every mention of a company has to turn into an open invite for hate or stupid comments.
