I have never claimed that--or as I pointed out before that 6x is the ideal scope magnification. (If you can find either claim in print or on the Internet, please let me know.) I also know plenty of hunters, outfitters, guides and and shooters more experienced than I am in certain aspects--and have learned plenty from them.

Have also learned a lot from being a guide and going on many hunts with several other hunters, allowing me to observe not just how they do in the field but the results from a wide variety of cartridges, bullets, scopes, etc. One of these was a month-long African cull-hunt where close to 200 big game animals were taken. I only took 13, but observed around a third of the other animals being killed, and interviewed many of the other dozen hunters on their results.

You, on the other hand, do apparently know everything about hunting/shooting close-cover deer from your personal experiences with whitetails in your particular region of one state.
