When talking Coues hunting with some Westerners....I was told to just stay home if I wasn't prepared to shoot 80-100 yard shots, since any closer simply isn't realistic. Those deer are TINY and jittery, a 100 yard shot is a shoot and wish situation. I won't stay home, but I won't be shooting at those distances either. I don't have to take home a critter to have a successful hunt.
