read that! and I used the wrong term on my last post, you came across as a typical long range anti
If you had as much experience shooting game at extended ranges as you talk about
1) you would know that gut shot whitetails do not run when shot beyond 600 yards, they cannot relate the sound of the shot that far off to danger, they are hurt and just bed up, some don't go 10 yards before laying down
2) if you knew the quarry, you could tell watching they're "body language" when you had the shot window. you do not shoot them if their head is down, you do not shoot them if they are looking at something. When they have weight on both front feet, staring into the distance, listening there is your window, they will not move for over 1/2 second, that gives the bullet time to get there.
It takes much patience but it is really not hard to figure out, I once had an 8 point in my crosshairs for over 3 hours before the shot window appeared, he never took a step after impact.
