[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1734219, member: 313"] Here's a story just for laughs: I hunt whitetails in NC every year. Typically, hunting is from elevated box blinds and is overlooking planted fields or bait sites. I noticed that bait was usually placed 50-75yds from the stands. When I questioned the outfitter as to why they put the bait so close he stated that most hunters get so excited that they completely miss deer at 100yds. :rolleyes::D:D Equally interesting is that when you talk to the hunters about their equipment they typically use large cartridges which invariably includes many magnums. Nothing like spending $1,000 on a rifle, another $1,000 bucks on a scope and missing whitetails at 100yds with a 180gr bullet doing 3,200 ft/sec. Moral of the story - outfitters and guides have no real way to know what the skill level of their hunters is when they rotate in & out every week. [/QUOTE]
