Let me just say that everyone should suppose the circumstances are the same for everyone. I use rifle/shotgun but don't think I've shot a deer further than 80 yards. Most of my kills, even with a gun are less than 50 yards (actually most are less than 30 yards). I'm usually deep in thick woods/swamp/marsh with low visibility. So the challenge is still there, the outcome is less in question though than with a bow. So yes, I'll be using a gun. If you'd like to call me names feel free, I'm secure enough to take it.
