[QUOTE="WyoTex, post: 3066030, member: 69750"] That's true, and most of those were Cows. When you hunt the same area for many years, you get to know the most likely Paths of the animals when pushed, and you set-up in an advantageous position. Most Public lands see a lot of pressure, so you use that pressure to your advantage. Where I hunt in Southern Wyoming, I'm in either Meadows or Clear cuts, Some relatively open timber, or logging roads, waiting on other hunters to push animals. They always do. I learned more than 30 years ago to Hike in and wait for other hunters to create my opportunities. Works like a charm. The Three Bulls over 100 yards were on Bald mountain sides. I couldn't get closer due to the wide open lack of cover, and therefore I was unable to get adequate concealment. The long shots were the best option. Goats (Antelope) are out on the open prairie, and rarely present an opportunity closer than about 300yds. It happens, but not often, and then only by the grace of God. (or a ground blind near water. Not much in the way water where I hunt). JK [/QUOTE]
