You must smell pretty good!! HA, HA, HA; Just joking, but that is what they do, shoot form one mountain to another. Steep side hills, that is the only way you can see them. If it was flat you would not be able to see through the trees, unless you were in wide open space, not the case here. In PA they shoot the same way but usually not as far, the places they hunt elk out west have bigger mountains and are farther apart. They are not like the TV shows where you can circle around to another hill and be closer. Even here in PA , if you move sometimes as little as a few yards in any one direction you lose sight of the animal that's on the opposite mountain. After the kill most times you will need to communicate with someone from where the shot was made from to people retrieving the animal on the other mountain because you have no way of telling where you are in relation to where the animal is laying dead. This is done by two way radios or if you can get service , by phone. You can not hunt places like I am talking about by yourself, if you were lucky enough to kill something you would probably never be able to find it. This is what they like to do and they know what their weapons are capable of. If a shot is questionable they will move off the animal and find something the same range and take a sighter or two. That is all that is needed if you see where you hit, and they can with the glasses that they have. Once they are on target they move back onto the animal, next shot is usually a killer no matter how far! It is something you can't really comprehend until you see them do it. It is technology and they know how to apply it. And this is there hobby, and they love it and have perfected it. You may not agree, but then again you probably never seen it done in Alabama, because it doesn't have the mountains PA does. Here in PA this type of hunting is BIG!! Good luck in the way each of you hunt, and try not to put someone elses way of hunting down.
