So? Doesn’t mean that local bubbas haven’t been doing it anyway. Poachers
often choose the best spots too.

Nah.  One can easily look at how old the wood is in the stand for how long
it’s been there, to see if it is deliberate or coincidental.  Plus what the
actual engagement range is, for no one sane is going to try to make a
1000m+ shot (even a professional): has the SS actually said what the
notional range distance would have been?  If not, it obviously ain’t close.
