I heard a similar statement by a mule deer hunter I guided a few years ago.
We saw a buck across the river, that the hunter did not want - but he ranged the buck just for kicks. “700 yards, that’s a chip shot, I have been ringing gongs at 1200 yards.” Or something to that effect. Well he went home empty handed a few days later after wounding a buck at 400. Field conditions can have a way of humbling folks sometimes.
