[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2874501, member: 97050"] We are just talking about wind. Most of this forum doesn’t take “long range” shots far enough that it would matter so much. Hunting has an aspect of luck. If you were rushing a long range shot on a buck at 900y in a timber cut being perused by a predator…you never had a shot. Long range shooting does take equipment and time to do things right, and even then…that’s assuming YOU are good and solid in technique and calculation. The hunting aspect is another topic altogether where technique and opinions vary. I for one have immense success hunting beds from summer to October. The it’s hunting feed areas until the rut. Then migrations. Rarely if ever is taking a shot on a cruising buck the way to go. I hunt western states only, and generally works for me, but still a generalization. No hunt is guaranteed and no hunt is the same or easy. [/QUOTE]
