I agree, say you do dial and shoot an animal at a considerable distance, how long is it going to take to retrieve the animal? Especially in the last 5 minutes of light.

Haha yep, although I have been caught out in the past walking by flash light trying to retrieve an animal on the other side of the valley and getting bluffed out. Although if it’s a trophy if a life time nothing would be stopping me from trying to retrieve it.
