Fungunn, I declined at first but just had too. I think you know exactly what you need and can do...that is the battle. Yes here we can hunt that same thicket or move to farmland and hunt fields, coulees...well really you name it. I would say most of my shots even still are under 200 yards. I think scouting, know the area...homework is the best advantage. I would hate to have to rely on my ability to dial 1 and the area code on every shot.

Bluesranger, in your description, I would aim for the neck and call her good. Even though I don't like neck shots, 30 feet with a 30/30, I think that would be my shot. You can do the back and exit brisket trick, but may get deflection, etc.
