[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2268847, member: 313"] FWIW - I actually prefer medium range shooting at big game. You know, less than 500yds. I hunt whitetails in NC and SC every year. My hunts are booked with outfitters. They all use bait and its typically placed at around 75yds from the stands. I asked why they do that and was told most shooters miss or wound deer at anything over 100yds. :oops: I always ask for stands that overlook large fields, hopefully soybeans where I can get medium range shots or view deer at long range. Most outfitters don't even want to put you in such a spot because EVERYONE claims to be a longrange shooter but very few actually are. If you saw some of the rifles and optics they bring to shoot deer at 75yds you'd think they were military snipers. LOL 😁 [/QUOTE]
