Default RE: Is it hunting??..........or Shooting??

BOWFANATIC,

Since no one else has been willing to answer me on this maybe you can offer me your opinion.


What hunting skill is required to sit in a stand or blind and shoot a deer that is say 350 yards away in a field??

You didn't stalk up to that point, it's not your stand (A friend said you could hunt his land and put you there)..........you are not calling or using scent lures.......just waiting for a deer to poke it's head out into the field. Half hour goes by and a few doe come out followed by a nice 8. You settle your crosshairs on the top of his back because you know your gun and bullet drop and you drop him in his tracks........350 yards. What hunting skill was employed that helped you get that deer??
