At +400 yards you do, ask me how I know...


Sam, i would like to know at what angle the 350 yarder was traveling in regards to your position and how far you led him. Also, were you holding steady in front or maintaing a constant lead.

Also, on walking at 400 how much do you lead?



Eyeball, I just now noticed this, sorry.

350 yard whitetail was a 3-4' lead if I remember correctly.

Shot 4 times but judging by the snow/blood trail the first shot was lucky enough.


Walking mule deer buck was at 415 yards, rutting, no idea I was nearby. Shot prone, great rest, easy shot. Straight into the gut, buck humped up and big whop on the shot so I knew what happened. He kept walking(slowly) and I did it again. Just could not mentally bring myself to lead him(one foot?), chalk it up to inexperience.


Waited until he stopped and dropped him.
