#107 | Long-Range Hunting Ethics: How Far Is Too Far? | Patrick Ginder

Ike Eastman and co-host Brandon Mason sit down with Patrick Ginder, a central Wyoming outfitter out of Casper and a competitive long-range shooter, for a genuine conversation on the elephant in the room: how far is too far. Patrick shoots NRL Hunter Series matches and Nightforce ELR out to 2,000 yards, but personally caps his shots on animals at around 500 — and he unpacks why. The three get into where technology has taken hunting (rangefinding binos, custom loads, dialable turrets), what these shooting competitions actually teach you, why the bench is the worst place to prepare for a real hunt, whether states should even try to regulate technology, and the older question underneath it all: why are we out there in the first place — to match wits with an animal, or to prove what a rifle can do. 👉 Watch all of the EHJ Podcast episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3oV1kEbu74HrR_GEK5VL9pCc6dME5py_ 👉 Eastmans Journal Podcast Sponsors: Browning: https://bit.ly/Browning-Eastmans Eberlestock: https://bit.ly/Eberlestock-Eastmans Stealth Cam: https://bit.ly/StealthCam-Eastmans Hornady: https://bit.ly/Hornady-Eastmans Leupold: https://bit.ly/Leupold-Eastmans Precision Pay: https://bit.ly/PrecisionPay-Eastmans Safari Club International: https://bit.ly/SCI-Eastmans
