Here in MI I bet 80% of the deer are show within 100 yds
My main place I hunt I sit on the edge of a 40 acre field so I typically stretch my shots quite a bit more
but as Skane posted most Midwest hunters cant see past the trees more than 75 yards?
and there typically is limited time better be ready
I think especially first week of deer season here in MI
the deer get chased and aint stupid if they are the are fawns
not really what we are looking for

I tried to stay within the boundaries of practicality. None of those examples are extreme. While a tool can be versatile and have some overlap, it doesn't mean one tool is suited for all things and all people.

If you think there is only one tool; you're probably the tool. Lots of wisdom in this short statement. Well put. In this case there can be one tool...If you can use it proficiently close and far. Isn't that why they make 3x18, 4x16, 5x25, etc, etc. Nothing above implies that one tool cannot cover your needs. Just says that there's more than one way to get the job done. Dialing the scope is certainly fine and sometimes seems best. A set mutidot reticle can also do fine for many things. So, there IS more than one tool available. "My way is the only way" is the mantra of the mental midget. I think the OP was just trolling for a response. Guess it worked.

So… pretty much 40 shots have made a ragged hole. Over 20 years High volume and a master of his domain You should post pics of your ribbons/trophy’s and that list of accolades you’ve received. Everyone’s impressed. Other than he shoots Leupold scopes why the slam on Rick? The Campfire is a "pics or it didn't happen" website. Talk your game without proof, and sooner or later someone is going to jump on your case. He talks LR shooting and backs it up with proof. Looks like if he slammed Leopold, and raved on about the other top end scopes it would all be ok? Ya, that's what it looks like. Show off your most recent kill, new truck, pics of where you went fishing or hunting. "Yay ,great job!!!!"......Brag on Leupold too much, along with showing proof and giving some [bleep] back in the process, and you go to the colony.  Your interpretation of the campfire, doesn't equate to mine. Some of us are secure enough in ourselves, we don't feel the need, to brag with pictures, and such. But too each his own.

Seems kinda like using a 12” ruler to try to measure something 8 feet long by guessing after the first foot. There are no skilled carpenters that use a ruler to measure their cuts. There are plenty of skilled deer hunters that kill piles of deer without dialing.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

What about "I think it's set & I hope it doesn't forget" scopes?

Leaving aside for the moment, picture posting abilities, and back to 'set and forget'...if a shooter really wanted to forget it, I wonder why the Burris posi-lock didn't sell better? Seemed like a good theory...I was just too cheap to pay another 120 bucks for a set screw.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I believe some people found tightening the set screw moved the zero a bit.
