I was talking mostly about hunters taking shots that are beyond a range they've practiced at or are comfortable with, or when the deer is at an odd angle (e.g. severely quartering), etc. I just wait for a relatively
high odds shot (ie. one I'm comfortable I can make with decent odds of killing the deer).
I know I will get slammed for my comments but before you do that read my first sentence again.
Sure are defensive, eh?
j/k Don't automatically assume that someone will be offended by your comment. In this case I agree totally with both your original post as well as your response. But even if I didn't, I wouldn't slam you over it. Everyone here is entitled to an opinion (something I wish a couple of guys here would take to heart...most are really reasonable though).
Not only does this help in the field, it makes practice more interesting. Especially when you practice with buddies. It's fun.
You can play it like a game of HORSE.
