I do think that was the point of the article. But if you had to scout, find gauge the distance yourself and use an iron sight, could you?
I think most hunters today don't have the hunting skills the old timers did. Today we have scopes on high powered rifles that enable us to shoot game at 200, 300 yards or even more. We have range finders that can tell us to the yard how far away the game is. Our trail cameras tell us when and where the deer frequent.
The old timers had to get closer because they used iron sights and didn't have as high powered rifles They had to gauge the distance to the game themselves. And they had to find the deer by scouting.
Are we losing valuable hunting skills as technology advances?
Most of those I would have thought of a basic...Are we losing the skills?
How do you prepare your equipment for the season?

For you I-40 to Amarillo then north to Clayton, NM where you go west to Raton. It is 7 hours from OKC. I have been through Raton many times but never to the NRA center. Some day I will. I may be old and in a motorized wheel chair but I will go.
Oh man! I would love to be able to do that someday too, Jan!
One day I want to go do this
