Buck hunting Girl...When you use a rifle with a scope, its easier to do a well placed shot at deer at over 100 yards, Most the the time, they dont know where you are...But for me, hunting on public land, shotgun, open sights, alot of times the deer are running full bore past you at 50-100 yards and you gotta crack off more then one shot..My fork I shot last year, i shot him on the second shot at 75 yards, open sights....My first shot basically was to see if he would stop, which he did for 1 second to look for his does and that gave me enough time to bead up a decent shot through both lungs....Happy Hunting and Hit em n Get em
