I killed my first bull at 20 yrds while trying to make up 500 yrds on another bull. It was a late Sep hunt back in the 80ds. we were moving fast through some timber on a game trail and as near as I can tell this bull mistook us for another bull come in to his cows. there was no time for a rest. I was luck to get stopped myself. It was all just a flash.
I've never ran into a situation like that since, But many times since then I've had to close the gap on game to get the job done.
Now add adrenalin, elevation, and the fact I'm not a young kid anymore and them hill get steeper every year.
All that 100 yrd dash does is give you a way to learn to control your breathing and make the shot.
As a side note many years before Jack Oconor had kill a Wyoming Big Horn Sheep On the other side of the drainage were I killed my 1st bull. any one happen to know the name of the Drainage.
