You don't have the option of glassing game from afar and using the modern technology of a laser range finder and pricisely dialable scope to shoot a deer 500 - 1000 yards away across a canyon. You've got to get close because there ain't no way you're going to see or shoot it from afar. On the flip side of that, I've hunted the open farmlands of central NY many times with a slug gun. Sure I saw deer across big crop fields that were far out of slug range.
Different terrain types call for different strategies and different skill sets. It's a good idea to be well-versed in more than one of them.
Jordan, You're the voice of reason. It's refreshing.
