boys thats alittle harsh

a range finder is not necessary to kill big game if everything is in line.
you nned to practice, go out plink at rocks on the mtn side, punch paper. shoot at long range jack rabbits crows whistle pigs and the like.
that 270 will get you to 300yds and ill call that the max,
i have this gut feeling when im hunting, i use no range finder or anything, just the naked eye. ive killed 7 bucks, from 20 to more than i d guess at.
the more than id guess at buck happend ounce and i call it ounce in a lifetime shot, i was inexsperinced and didnt know how far it was but i go the spot each hunting season looking for the same shot. tried passen it but its just to steep and rugged i cant do it.
anyways 9 times out of 10 your shots will be inside 200. but its the times that they arent that the gut feeling has to surface and lets you know whether you can make the shot or not.
this gut feeling is my oath. and has come with many shots missed on varmits and big game. i think its the misses that teach you more than the hits. anyone can make hit but its puitting it where it needs to be. and the misses teach you alot about wether you should have hdl over or dead. or into the wind.
as much as boyd and the rest rely on gadgets i know they have the gut feeling to. and im sure they turned down that ideal 700 yd shot more than ounce even though everything was just right.
sometimes you just feel you cant make it and its not worth trying
it takes a man to turn a shot down. but you have to shoot at everyuthing to get to that point where you know you should let the shot go
