You mention 700 metres, but you will see animals at 800 and 900 metres.

This makes me chuckle . . . Between you and a deer at 500m you can just about guarantee there are about 5 deer closer, you are just not seeing them, all shooting at 700 achieves is ensuring there are now 7 or 8 deer between you and the one you can see. Went hunting the other day, saw 13 for the day. First at 450M, across very rough gully, left. 2&3 at 500M, gully had gotten wider and rougher. Then a mob of 7 at 700M. Absolutely impossible to retieve. Then one on our side at 350M. Then another just below us, shot at 216M. Just a different way of thinking.
