I watch a lot of outdoor tv and other hunting shows.
(I was just watching a bear hunt on Jim Zumbo's show)
Why in tarnation would some one hunt a critter with a scoped rifle knowing that the bait or shooting range is only 10 yards? I use a 30-30 with open sights on land where I know most of my shots will be 75yds or less. I will use a scoped rifle if i know most of my shots will be over 75yds. I just watched this guy shoot a nice bear at about 20ft using a scope without see thru rings. His longest possible shot would have been about 25yds.......a very capable shot with open sights. I just dont understand the logic. Would someone please educate me on this?....
