The hunter on the other hand aims at a 2"x2" spot near the lower corner of the target; any hits outside that area mean tracking a wounded target and hoping it runs out of energy before you do. And that deadly area becomes pretty small once your distance goes past 200 yards. He also needs to use his scope to clearly identify the target (white tail or mule, 4 point or spike). With all the other influences that come with long distance shooting, you really don't want to add lack of magnification to your problems.
Not so fast there Hoss, "aims at a 2"x2" spot"? Not hardly. The vitals on big game are much much bigger than 2"x 2". Heck, even coyotes have much bigger vitals than 2"x 2". "Paper plate" accuracy(shooter/gun combo) is adequate. Know what range you can consistantly do that and you're good to go.
