Completely agree. I shoot enough in the off-season that the only "guess" left is the wind. Rifles/loads are sorted out, sighted in, and charts well verified LONG before opening day. I do some practice from 600-900 yds not because I intend on shooting critters at that distance, but, because it makes those 300-400yd shots seem "easy". Much like practicing with a bow @ 40yds makes 20yds seem like a piece of cake.

"Cold" was never much of a problem as all of my hunting has been afoot. That said, it's easier to stay dry or get dry now than it was then.
