[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2277833, member: 61747"] I think you two are saying similar things and both have valid points that are being lost in the context. Honestly I think if we were all hunting together our thoughts would be aligned. I think the spotter shot idea is valid from a what if perspective. For example, if you just can't seem to get that validation on your wind call you have choices: wing it, walk away, get closer, or spotter shot. Each of those has a unique set of circumstances in which we have to triage in the field and decide best course of action. I personally think all of the main members here would skip "wing it" and make a different choice. In the classes I help instruct I am a huge proponent of the students identifying their limits and ensuring winging it is not on the table of thought. I have a friend who is a FG officer who had a recent encounter with a LR hunter who took 29 shots at a deer at 1200 and there people on the hill side with the deer. He spoke at our last class and shared that story. I don't think that is any of us, hope so any way. [/QUOTE]
