Congrats and thanks for your explanation. Not that you owed one to anybody, sounds like the right decision.[/quote]

Thanks! I was actually planning on hunting with my 30-30 lever action with open sights, but when my 10 day hunt turned into a 3 day hunt I decided my long range rifle was my better option. Already put in my vacation for next year and have 12 days and plan on killing with the old model 94

Excellent videos.

What's the story with the video (titled 200+ inch mule deer) showing many large (huge) antlers being loaded onto a plane?

Variety is the spice...

Fair Chase,

Im not sure what the story is behind that video, Ill ask my friend that uploaded see if I can get some details!

Very nice

Congrats all around,felt like i was there thks

Nice job what does you rig weigh ready to hunt?

Thanks for all the positive feedback! Been getting a lot of grief on some other forums I frequent. The rifle weighs 12lb 1oz loaded with scope and bipod on it ... Love the rifle but wish it was a little lighter

Too bad about the grief you're getting. Lots of people still confuse their own personal ethic with what is "ethical." When the truth is, a 250 yard shot uses superior technology to defeat an animal's senses too. Thing is, lots of guys can make a 250 yard shot.

I always find it funny when a thread is posted about a long range kill in the long range hunting section and folks chime in with negative responses. I always expect information discussion and examples of long range hunting in this part of the site.

Great job all around to the op.

If you read the thread, he wasn't talking about this forum, but some others.

No chit.
guess it never has happened on this one?

I'm sure it has, but it didn't on this thread.

Great video btw spdr, just got around to watching it, loved the playback of the bullet traces and the hits.

No chit nobody said it did. I made a statement same as you.

No chit? So what was it that you found funny?

The fact that some people go to long range hunting sections just to disagree with it. Would be like me going to a fly fishing thread and bashing fly fishing.

I was simply carrying on from your post and agreeing with You and said good job to op. Never said anything about this particular thread other than good job. Did mention I find humor in controversy about long shots in the long range section. I shoulda just said thanks and congrats and left it at that.

No worries. I've been accused of doing just what you said though, so it kind of struck a nerve, that's all.

I don't have issues with long range hunting, especially when guys like the OP can and did make a couple of clean, one-shot kills on undisturbed animals.

As a matter of fact, this fall on my antelope hunt, they were really skittish inside 600 or 700 yards, and I was thinking that a longer shot at an animal that wasn't on edge might be more ethical, given the skill to make the shot, which I admittedly don't have yet and luckily didn't need on that hunt.

Having said that, if someone does raise an issue about LR hunting, I think the best way to respond is to meet their point head-on, not just say "this is the LR forum, shove off."

Just my opinion, FWIW.

Most can't!

Most think they can.
