[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 2858397, member: 8915"] Agree with your observation 100%. 5 years in the Marine Corps with several tours in Vietnam as a Grunt and Recon. I learned by experience and from Korean War Veterans that just cuz you think you can, doesn’t mean you should disclose your position. Animals don’t shoot back. Time spent in a war isn’t recommended however it taught me and my team members that any scoped weapon needs to be maintained and everything is working. Develop your come ups and verify it in the field too “Your max range with effective first rd hits”! BEFORE you go looking for Bad Guys! well this applies to hunting. Everyone on this site has spent their hard earned money to buy the best equipment they can afford. Hunting Cost Allot: license, tags, ammo, rifles, scopes, camping gear, vehicle, fuel, lodging. Last year my deer hunt in Utah wasn’t cheap. I arrived 4 days before the opener and hunted to the very last day. My party of four harvested our deer. It was hard work. We glassed, put our backpacks on and went after our prey. Buck 1-540yds, Buck 2-670yds, Buck 3- 458yds and my buck #4 located at 1400 yds, humped 1100yds to close the distance and shot at 300yds. Took my 77yr old carcass 4 hours to close the distance. Make the shot and then hike to it. Took me 6 hours to pack it out to my truck. All game taken with one shot kills.
