Unless your talking about pure target shooting at a range or trying to head shoot a field mouse at 180 meters.
Maybe then worry about if and by how much the poi changes.
Apart from that,,,,, what happened to the old and true practice of,,, "never presume that on each outing and after cleaning,, that your rifle is still zeroed."
A single test shot before hunting/shooting in earnest on each and every subsequent outing will tell you if its changed or not.
It is part and parcel of ethical shooting written/unwritten law is it not ????????????

I understand this isn’t possible for all - but not only does it confirm poi, it establishes confidence. Cleaning rifles, bagging, travelling - who knows if a bump hasn’t moved zero. Maybe...maybe not.

Yeh, ok. But not at 6 am and not when hunting fringe areas. Well, I dont.

I gather that you have a permit to go hunting in there,,,,,,, but,,,,, you aren't supposed to fire a shot to verify your zero.
How can you say your hunting,,,,,, if it's frowned upon, or not allowed, to actually fire a shot ?

Them the rules, I don't make em. Break em at your own risk. There are certainly SF workers crusing around - personally I don't take the risk.

l think its caused some confusion about checking your zero before actually hunting on that day instead of checking your zero after removing and replacing your stock it would be really nice to be able to check before a hunt but its not practical for everyone all the time
and "how dare you" say "head shoot a field mouse at 180 meters"
poor little field mouse now c'mon DJ fairs fair leave the poor little field mouse out of it
