What do you guys do if you do not have a rangefinder? Walk off distances at the base of the tree you are sitting in and mark them with sticks? Whats the easiest way?
last year mine where all going to be under 20 so no need. This year i am going to get one. GOing to do some open field hunting with gun and some longer bow shots to hopefully get one

I will be in the same boat. My dad does have a range finder himself, but we will not be hunting together. And I do not have the money to just buy one for myself.

That is an other reason to shoot as much 3D as possible. Practice judging distances and then pace them off to see how close you are.. I used to walk off the distance from my stand before I got a range finder, and marked them with a rock. But I don't like to walk anywhere I think deer are going to be crossing.
