38 seasons
My state starts in September and ends January, average about 7-9 deer a year and can't remember the last time I needed to shoot that far.
Problem is you design your parameters around an event that you don't control.
If you sit on a beanfield with a certain rifle of a certain caliber and certain bullet design topped with a big ole moon scope and the deer shows up 35 yards behind the stand quartering away and won't stop for a good shot....
