That's simply not correct, & no one has said anything close to that, but you.

In densely covered areas, yes, it's easier for a good hunter to get closer to game in the east or in the west.

What you just don't seem to get is that in the west, in more open or fully open areas, game spots you at much, much longer distances.

It's not a matter of being a better hunter in either scenario, it's a matter of circumstances dictating how you hunt & at what distances shots may need to be made..................or no shot at all, maybe on a book head or a once in a lifetime ram or.............................

Especially if you are hunting for a trophy, & fully mature animal, not an immature 1 1/2 year old.

The more you yap the more you simply discredit yourself.
