I try to work up loads for every rifle I load that are as accurate as possible, sub inch is always the goal. I cannot hold dead still like from a bench. I figure The smaller my groups, the bigger my wobbles can be.
I learned when I started bow hunting long ago that figuring out which tree to use to get off the ground was the biggest part of getting a deer. After that, preparing yourself to have the ability to stay there until Bambi decided to commit suicide and then the discipline to make it the shot.
Where I hunt, "woodsmanship", hunting them on the ground, can be done, but for every success, you probably move 100 deer you never knew about. Deer here are very prone to just get up if you start to get too close, move away a little, let you pass by and then lay down again. The one you think you "hunted up" is more likely dumb luck or bumped into you by someone/something else.
