How far away was that rifle shot?
Always wondered how to judge the distance of a rifle shot in the woods. On average that is. I understand different calibers generate different sound levels, and that the wind can play tricks, and if there are mountain peaks between you and the shot . . . But if you are hunting flat, pine covered forest, how far can you hear a gun shot. You know the direction . . . now how far away was it?
1/2 mile? Mile? Any research done on this?
