[QUOTE="wct12, post: 439913, member: 8117"] That is how we used to rifle hunt also, and I did enjoy it. Now I use pinch points and sit and wait for deer to leave bedding areas or a buck to slip up chasing a doe. Whether it be on a rock pile or a tree row or even a stand. I don't like the ethics argument because the last 2 deer I've shot I could've killed with an open sight 30/30 lever action at 100 or so yards.. But yet I have a rifle I built where I shoot a group roughly the size of my fist at 800 (it's the rifle I used this year even though I shot the deer I did at 124 yards). I don't care how someone chooses to hunt.. Recurve vs compound vs crossbow (I hope the old age crossbow bill passes). Spot and stalk vs walking vs sitting in a stand. Lever action vs long range custom build. As long as you can do it and do it effectively and not wound animals (accidents happen), I'm all in favor of it. And thats all because someone is out enjoying our great outdoors, no matter how they choose to do it! [/QUOTE]
