Another way to figure out range is by looking at how much of the reticle the animal takes up in the scope. The more of the reticle that the animal fills out, the closer it is. With practice, you will learn to do this easily. Of course, I just bit the bullet, no pun intended, and bought a range finder several years ago.
Even with a range finder, sometimes you do not have the time to get that thing out and use it before the deer is gone. So, knowing how to judge range without a range finder is a good skill to learn.
