I will never advocate taking any game with an unethical shot from extremely long distances. That being said, when a farmer's livelihood is threatened, he or she has to do something.

In a video Robert Runkles shared on YouTube, we see a farmer who has to eliminate a crop-damaging deer.

Like this man, you should know your weapon, distance, wind and marksmanship, and never shoot beyond what you're capable of. This shooter has his game down to a science.
