You really ought to sneak up a little closer!
That's some funny stuff there. 80 yards was the farthest shot, and the rest were 60 and closer. I'd say you were using the right bullets. And shootin' that poor doe in the nose-that's priceless!
Thanks for the report. Do you stalk that close, or do you get your stands that close to travel corridors?
Well actually, one of the 260rem bullets was taken from a 7pt at 180 yds.
Sometimes things just work out the way they do. I hunt fields and woods, but once the hunting season gets going, the deer avoid the fields unless it's really nasty weather. I hunt a high pressure area so you have to hunt the deer like rabbits after a few days of rifle season.
As far as shooting the doe in the nose, all I had a shot at was her face or her ass. I don't eat the face so her dental work got rearranged.
