Ok, so if we're not allowed to discuss the maximum range at which it is considered ethical to shoot deer, let's try it another way
What is the MINIMUM energy (foot-pounds) that you would consider ethical to deliver a standard hunting bullet to a roe deer - chest/lung area. You will probably say "it depends on calibre" and you're probably right then, but then that would indicate there would be different ethical ranges for different calibres (be they small (not 'low' - just for you Brithunter - ha ha ha) medium, or large.
Just to clarify, I believe my personal ethical range is 250 yards, not because I'm incapable of longer, just because it's where I feel 'stalking' finishes and is also the point where too many 'variables' start coming in to the equation.
