378,
You kinda hit the nail on the head, sorta... Things have changed drastically in the past 10 years... Hell manufactures of SCpoe, rifles, almost anuthing hunting related have acknowledged that LR huntig is here. I'm not saying that everyone should do it. THere are definite idiots out there that shouldn't even think about it. Trouble is some who shouldn't will.
The stalk is still park of my game. I just don't often have to stalk as much. There are times I've been able to stalk within 60 feet and times when 600 yards was as close as I was able. But both times I was able to place my bullet. Only took 1.
