40 yds is my max unless that sucker is HUGE and he is totally relaxed and oblivious to my presence. And he has to be broadside
Never understood this logic... He's huge so I take an iffy shot I wouldn't normally take
My thinking is a Huge animal deserves as much if not more discretion than anther deer
Because I practice at those longer distances regularly. I can make the shot. I just choose not to most of the time.
Anyone can hit on a target. If you don't shoot game at XX distance all the time, you should not, at least IMO, do it just because its huge. I"d be afraid to take a shot on a huge deer, if it wasn't the same shot I take on game all the time...
