Heavywalker, I cannot lie and say I have always tried to close the distance if I had a high percentage shot and conditions were right.

I can say I never passed a short shot to take a long one on a game animal. When the pigs were in the place where we shoot a mile we usred to bait them right up to the berm and kill them at 1760. At times there were pigs at 300-500 while we were shooting the long pigs, but never on a deer or elk.
