With a rifle from 200 yds, I would have to agree with you, but that's not really "hunting". That's more like "spotting" and then shootin' them. Now really hunting them using a compound bow and a tree stand is entirely different. Very challenging and exciting, but you'd have had to sit motionless 15 feet over the head of a big buck to understand. It's just that hunter instinct mentality; knowing your about to kill. Adrenalin pumping but having to remain completely still and quiet while drawing the bow and waiting for the deer to turn just enough to get the kill shot in the chest cavity. Damn, I miss it. Killed my last deer over 10 years ago. Have chosen a path in my life where spending 3-4 hours every night in the woods after work is no longer an option.
