Hunting without a rangefinder

[SniperHunter]

I have discovered for me that 28 normal walking steps equals 20 yards. It may differ for others depending on stride length.

Often I will stop at a specific location and try to estimate how far it is to an object in the distance, then walk directly to the object counting my steps to see how accurate I am. I do this in the woods and other places, too ( i.e. distance from a store curb to my vehicle. If I estimate the distance to be say 35 yards then I should be taking about 49 steps )

I wonder how many guys have old perfectly good inexpensive rangefinders
Laying in a tube in their garage because they upgraded that could be bought cheap. A few responses on here were not guys choosing not to use RF but saying money was tight and they couldn't spare the money.

reticle ranging can be pretty decent alternative as was already mentioned
