[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2022663, member: 12443"] Well first, try to realize that long range hunting in Pa where i hunt is primarily done from a fixed location. Meaning that you pretty much drive right to or at least very close to the spot you intend hunting. So the type of equipment used might vary from that used in other places as a result. There are of coarse times when hiking to a location takes place also, and thats where things like lighter guns and lazer rangefinders are preferred. But regardless as to how far you hike to the location, you dont actually start hunting till you arrive at the location. There is also no spot and stalk hunting done there, as in closing the distance on foot before shooting. Terrain features dictate all of that, and not what the individual might prefer it be. So again, you learn to accept what is and deal with it. All hunting is done by using tripod mounted binoculars to scan hillsides for game, and pretty much all shooting is done from some type of bench or a very good tripod setup capable of handling heavy weight and heavy recoiling guns. And yes people lug the equipment as far as need be or maybe stash some of it at the longer hike locations. Years back we would carry the rangefinder in to a location one time, and make note of various features in a book with pages for various locations with the range written next to say a large rock. We still use that book, even though today we have lazer rangefinders. Having the most precise information as for distance isnt really as important as have a gun that gets there in a hurry with enough bullet. And knowing how to get the next round where you want it to go if you happen to miss. Misses arent always a bad thing anyway, because you always end up having more solid information than before the miss. I think in the shooting world they might be known as sighter shots. lol [/QUOTE]
