If your friend was a half arse hunter he could slip at least to within 400 yards of his prey.

The OB troll. I doubt any of this happened

The majority of hunters and their lack of knowledge of ballistics, poor riflemanship and shooting techniques, minimal-to-no practice, and understanding of proper doping concludes that the majority have no business shooting 300 yards, let alone 800. The sheer quantity of wounded animals shot at from extended ranges every year objectively backs up that proposition.
Typical hunting rounds like 308, 6.5, etc, typically do not retain enough energy for an ethical shot at that distance.
Need a big gun w lots of oomph.
That being said, right gun, right conditions and practice actually shooting those kind of ranges, I don’t have a problem if someone is competent. Most people never shoot past 2 or 300 yards, much less 700 or 800

Was he shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor?

lot of people go out and buy a piece of equipment and think it makes them a long range shooter when in reality, its a small part of the equation.
It’s part of the reason I hate all the new cartridges that are being developed.

I have a Nosler .28 that can make that shot easily. I also have a six-hundred-yard range within an hour of me.
If he hit it at 800 yards, he's a hell of a shot for sure, but that Nosler ain't fricking around like wimpy guns and ammo. It takes a lot of the guesswork out at that range.

I don’t think an 800 yard shot is reasonable for anyone.
I would disagree with the total blanket statement like that. Most people it’s true - he’ll most hunters need to stay under 250 yards.
If one shoots regularly, year round and the conditions are right 800 yards with today’s rifles and glass isn’t a “never” shot for some.
Up to June I shot at least 500 rounds a month and can regularly hit a target at a mile. Would I take a mile shot at big game? No. Would I take a 800 yard one if I’m in a solid shooting position, have time to get the dope correct, the wind isn’t terrible and the animal isn’t running? Maybe.

No shoulder fired rifle chambering short of something like .375 cheytac is making an 800 yard shot in the field on game "easy."
Wind hold and shooting position are ALWAYS going to be the largest errors on these kinds of shots. More horsepower and high BC bullets can reduce the wind call error, at the cost of higher recoil which magnifies the shooting position problem.
There's no secret sauce here. Nobody is taking extremely high confidence shots at 800 yards in the field without a SHITLOAD of practice regardless of what hardware they own.

Most people have never even practiced at 200 much less past that. If they do it's on a lead sled so they are still delusional. The first time I shot off a back pack at a 8" plate 200 yards away I was served humble pie. I practiced at 300 before going OK a few years ago. It paid off as I bang flopped one at 250 from a shite rest.
