RE: Which rangefinder are you using??
Here's an idea that I use. Get some flagging tape, atleast two colors, three's is great. Mark various trees, (I use a ladder and elevate my flagging tape) So that way when a deer passes my thirty yard tape, but hasn't made it my twenty yard tape, I know instantly how far he is..One less worry, not having to use a rangefinder.
