Rob's another member I trust and respect his knowledge and views. Another valid point.

I hunted 46 times, last year.....and likely took my range finder on 40 of those hunts. Maybe it's the understanding of the places I hunt.....but i'll likely use it less and less. I know the distance to the back of my indoor range from the shooting line.....and I don't range in there anymore, either.

I've gotten to know the SMALL parcels I hunt pretty extensively. If I were hunting new, unfamiliar ground.....you BET I'd have my rangefinder handy.

In MY situations (most of them) though........well...you know.
