Marinehawk: These have been hashed over ad nauseum here so I know who proferred the magical benchmarks, but that's not really the question. The question (that numbnuts can't answer) is what are they based on?

So go ahead numbnuts, see if you can answer the question.

PS, Marinehawk I actually bought that book and I've got to say, what a disappointment. It's anything but the ultimate guide to elk hunting, but it is chock full of recycled information and cliches. So, right up numbnuts' alley, LOL.

And you're right, Boddington backed off on his "rule of thumb." Way off. Truth be told, the basis of these numbers was gunwriter's need to generate copy and give people like numbnuts a number they can cogitate on, pontificate, toss out to the great unwashed, and impress everyone with their "knowledge."



A wise man is frequently humbled.
