My only point was that there's nothing wrong with trying to get as close as possible. You don't always need to take a shot when you first spot an animal. Even the most powerful cartridge is going to drop a lot, and get blown around by the wind. A closer shot lowers the chance of a miss.
I'm not stupid enough to recommend a muzzleloader to someone shooting a powerful CF gun. That was not the point of my previous post. Even though that was lost on one poster.
I've been killing game since the 50's with CF guns. No matter what the range of my gun was. I still tried to get as close as possible to put the odds in my favor. Sometimes you can't, but I think trying is worth the effort.
