I guess I never looked at it at as a "numbers" game as someone posted up the thread, I thought it always had to go with the "closing the distance". I mean after all, most people can shoot a scoped rifle 150 yards no problem. I can routinely walk within that distance of free ranging deer in the ag fields here in Iowa, to me that alone would make the difference. But, flipside is Iowa doesn't have a rifle season except bottom 2 tier counties late January.

I tend to stay out of the woods when the orange army invades...
