I appreciate the feedback. Our group is 10-12 guys, and we typically have 3-4 guys push and the rest block, depending on where we are hunting. I'm from a part of Illinois that isn't flat and we use the rolling terrain to our advantage when placing blockers. More times then not, the blockers are on the other side of a hill next to the timber/draw we are pushing and the backstop to any shot would be the side of the hill. I estimate 75% of our shots taken are at deer on the move that aren't necessarily a "perfect shot." None of us are what I would consider expert marksmen. I've never considered, and still don't consider, our style of hunting wrong or unethical. I just find it interesting that some people won't accept other people's style because it isn't what they are used to.
