RR.............When I was growing up my dad taught me and my brother still hunting.

One of the skills was moving shots. he had a trolley system he built for us to practice on. I'm sure i've taken more of those shots in practice over the years than you have with your long shots. I also made a living in the 70's trap shooting which isn't like shooting big game, but it does keep me sharp at moving targets.

Beating an animals senses on the ground at close range you think is the same as your animal at long range.

I won't argue with you over this. You have shooting skills, and still hunting takes woodsmanship skills. Worlds apart.

We all have different ways to challenge ourselves. You don't have to agree with mine. Just like you know I don't agree with yours.
