I did more than think about it. I tried it. Shot some elk at long range, and decided I had more fun trying to get close. Plus, I enjoy being in the dark timber.


The one exception is coyote hunting. I shoot them at long range, but all my big game will be up close.

Pick what you like, and go fill the freezer. No reason to have to defend how you hunt, and if someone else doesn't like it? So what? It's not that important.
