[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 218149, member: 8839"] RR you answered your own question. Similar situation chasing a doe across the rear of a bean field, about as far as I was willing to shoot. In and out of the woods got on him a few times spent too much time trying to read him and get set for the shot. One time almost squeezed it off right as he took off. To answer your question I'll never know if a spotter would have made the difference in getting a shot off. I can tell you for sure it would have made a huge difference in me just concentrating on the shot only. and if i heard SEND IT. It would have been sent with out hesitation. I dont think there is a long range hunter out there that would chose to hunt by themself if a good spotter was available. That being said in the last several weeks I've filled a bunch of crop damage tags by myself. Alot easier this time of year while eating beans. During the season it would most likely be a joint effort, deer walking a hedge row spotter asks are you ready, spotter gives a quick whistle and off it goes. Just me I believe in the long range game rifle scopes are for making the shot and bino's and spotting scopes are for spotting, I haven't found a way to use both at the same time. If I had to hunt by myself, sure I would but again I feel it would limit me. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
