I have seen plenty of blacktail react to where a human has btaking a pee.Then I have seen them show no raction to other spots people have peed .I think its what happens around the area what scent did you leave along with the urine.What your diet is could have a big effect on the scent.

I spend all year out in the woods this time of year is when I start my scouting .Its a great time to be out for it gives me insight into where the animals go when they are pressured .By scouting this time of year it has given me a few differant hidey holes that the deer and elk use in the later part of the season.Plus salmon and steelhead are starting to run.

I think for some it is the full circle deal.Rifle hunting lost its appeal for me on the most part because of my skill level that I achevied .So I started bowhunting but i was missing something still was missing now that I am out with trad gear . I found that missing part .Same reason that I no longer teach hunter ed. I did not like that there was no real part in our classes on ethics .

I did not post to advacate long range shots .But what makes a long shot a long shot as I stated in my other post is the skill level there for me to make that shot yes.Do i have the convedance that I can make that shot yes.But I will be the first to point out that 95% of the rifle shooters have no busseness shooting past 200 let alone a shot like that.I would say that Mr Asbell or petersson maybe Mr.Conrad Have the skill level to take a thirty yard shot on a animal .To me that would be a long shot .Know I am not saying anything bad about any of those guys .I hold alot of respect for those guys.It is the bow makers and hunting mags that push the distance out there .That is why I have gone to trad equipment over my compound.Just the same scopes are coming off the rifles and be replaced with iron sights.last season I had several times if my compound was in hand then I would have meat in the freeze But that just means I have to push myself to be a better hunter.:D

This is a hard post to respond to .As I believe what is ethical or not is something that is in all of us .It becomes a very personal matter to decide.I will say my longest shot is a 785 yard called head shot on a coyote.Now before everybody berates me on that it was done with a custom built precsion rifle .I practiced and shoot that rifle two to three times a week .And as the our military snipers do I have a notebook that recorded every shoot I ever took with that rifle.In it is data of distance wind temp time of day and so forth.Is it a shot That I think anybody can take no .But that is in part the reason I dont rifle hunt much anymore and went to bowhunting first with a compound and now with a longbow.Also the same reason the only hunting mags I read now are Traditional bowhunting And tradarchers world.I choice to go the hard way and push myself than go easy.
