I was driving in Arkansas last week and saw stands out in fields that I thought might be duck blinds but was assured they were used for deer hunting. If that is the case I can assure you that the hunter had better be able to take a long shot. The fields were enormous with absolutely NOTHING that would offer any cover for a stalk. Again I find that the critics of long range shooting are really usually expressing a very parochial point of view. As hunters we have to be able to adapt our technique to conditions that can vary widely. Being able to really reach out there is a very useful skill. Do any of yo happen to have experience hunting these Arkansas fields?
