The practice certainly doesn't hurt, and if it is done for fun, it is fun. Shooting at a live food critter out 575 yard, isn't something i would do. Chances of success for me, in a hunting situation, would be just about nil.
Utilizing the terrain to make a sneak is the best way to hunt i guess. Crawling through cactus is dicey, but is kinda possible without going home with spines embedded. When i was a kid, i imagined one day i would get bit in the face by a rattler, whilst sneaking up on prairie dogs using their mounds as cover; never did though. When i was a grown man, i came closest to a snake, but i was on my knees. Funny thing is, when i saw it, it was at 5 feet, and slipping away. When i heard it, i paid little attention, because i thought, it was the wind rustling the bushes. Geez, i have had hearing loss for quite some time now.
My, my, when one thinks about hunting, the memories sure appear.
