I respectfully disagree with anyone who uses walkie talkies, cell phones, etc. to enable themselves or people they are hunting with to kill a deer. Using these for safety reasons is a totally different issue.....that just makes sense.
Using these devices to radio ahead to a fellow "hunter" to let him/her know that a buck is headed there way, that maybe they need to run over to "Hickory Holler" to cut the buck off, etc. isn't hunting.....it's just killing.
In regards to killing bucks at 300 yards in Montana......try coming out to these wide open spaces and killing one with a bow sometime (or a muzzleloader......not the modern in-line ones, but the old traditional ones with open sights). There aren't many trees to climb up in around here......
WHoa! I agree that harvesting an animal at 300 yards or longer is not easy, and getting close enough to kill with a prmitive weapon is very tough in more open spaces, but tight quarters have there own difficulties that equal long shots and open areas in more western hunting.
