Jake, you are simultaneously missing the point
and making the case.
1) Big game and especially large-antlered big game do not stand still like paper targets--they are usually on the move, in bullet deflecting timber or brush.
2) No. 1 above is Ridge Runners operational environment. That's the reality. It's just the way it is. It's not going to change. It's ALWAYS going to be that way.
3) Given his operational environment, the range at which Ridge Runner can successfully and ethically engage his quarry is reduced to about 200-yards.
4) Ridge Runner insists on shooting at deer at 800-1000 yards.
5) What is the product of this equation?
All of the above does not apply if Ridge Runner has a couple of corn feeders strategically placed at the edge of a field at LRF determined distances from a shooting bench (or his back porch) and "hunting" is defined by Ridge Runner as shooting does and 1.5 y.o. bucks at 800-1000 yards that are standing innocently under said feeders munching on corn.
