[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1497067, member: 12443"] I respect your opinion on that, but I would question if you make a first round hit every time you shoot? So you see if you do thats fine, but if you don't then you are in no better position than he was after his planned miss, as he wasent actually trying for the deer. He could have also taken a sighter shot at a nearby target and gathered the required information, and frankly that would probably have been my choice. But I didn't make that call and he did, and the end result would have been the same. But the whole point was and is that it did take an element of knowledge brought about by actuall on the job experience and practice. A rangefinder is certainly a valuable tool and I am not advocating not using them. But as we have seen it is certainly possible to live pretty well without one by learning some pretty basic skills. There have always been snide remarks made about ethics when discussing this type of hunting. Ive been dealing with that for a very long time, sometimes coming from some supposedly very ethical people. [/QUOTE]
