Having used dialing to the direct range (custom BDC, the best solution for huntng), dialing the appropriate adjustment to the optic based on a chart or a computer generated firing solution, using a holdover based on the reticle, and just using a WAG I can say I prefer to directly dial the range vial a custom BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator).
Having said that I would also say that it is silly and stupid tell a guy who has successfully hunted for decades that his personal choice is wrong simply because I have a way that works better for me.
I know Bobinnh has dialed because he has actually used my personal rifle yet he choose a different path. That is what makes the world go around and makes choices for us all.
Bob is also sort of a curmudgeon but we are working on him (or is he working on us??).
Lots of choices. I might suggest we try lots of styles and shoot lots of practice before we decide what is best for our style of shooting and hunting.
