Skill set of a hunter obliviates the need for an AO for big game.
You are trying to defend a "want" rather than a "need".
No necessity to do that. You may want whatever you wish.
Opposition springs from trying to convince others that your "want" for an AO is a need for "deer hunting".
Be my guest - go shooting, practice lots, argue MOA, clicks, dials and dots, windmeters, laser rangefinders and AO.
Tools of the trade for a shooter. Master that trade, perhaps you already have, and that commands respect.
Skill set does not change by supping a paper target for a deer.
Change the thread title to "deer shooting scope" and go forth and fill arcs.
To me - IMHO - to much talk of shooting these days and to little of hunting.
Rant over.
LOL, I don't believe I ever said you "need" an AO to kill deer. In fact, of the 15 or so scopes I own, two have an AO. And they're both on "long range" rigs.
BTW, the word is "obviate."
