Hey coldboremiracle,
Why didn't you include the part in your OP that you did not in fact recover the elk?

rcamuglia They're very difficult to train to retrieve to hand.... That made me laugh out loud. He will have to retort with something. He has to have the last word. Ringy, he was laughing at you, not with you.

Tanner You been doing some cipherin'? That would tend to throw a little water on the idea that this particular shot was a good idea....

Do you know anyone who can make three consecutive hits on a man sized target at a mile and a half?
Personally no, I do not
I guess it can't be done then. Apparently not?

C'mon, you gotta be kidding..... It doesn't make any sense to video a hunt with the stupid music and the whole 9 yards and not have a shot with the proud hunter sitting next to his trophy.

CBM,
If you took 100 cold bore shots at a 5" round steel plate 900 yards away, what percentage of hits are you capable of?

I think your ego talks you into doing stupid [bleep] up [bleep] on camera so you can post it to youtube for people to tell you what an amazing shot you are. Not enough people liked your video on facebook, so you're [bleep] ass had to sign up on a new forum to get some attention. Tanner did some digging and now your balls are shrinking. I also think my aim is better than yours and your rifle is gayer than you are. Since you're asking...
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

I kinda wondered why there were no hero shots with the post. This guy posts all kinda pix over at Snipers Hide but I couldn't find any mention of this elk....

I may be wrong but after watching the video multiple times (50-54 seconds) it looks like he took her left ear off maybe grazing her skull.
As to the shooter! Any pictures of the elk after the kill??????????

If you took a 900 yard head shot you are at the least a damned fool, for posting a video of your stupidity you are a damned idiot.

Yes I was aiming at the head, which is where it hit. I understand if that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I wouldn't have taken the shot if I wasn't confident that I would hit it. Distance to target is irrelevant without the understanding and practice it takes to make a shot. How many deer get they're jaws blown off at 100yds? I'd say far more than there are at 900yds, for two reasons I suggest; not many people practice hunting at that range, and secondly those that do hunt in the realm of 100 yds are far more numerous a group, and that group likely includes the portion of hunters with shall we say less dedication. Thereby resulting in far more wounded/unrecovered animals.
I certainly dont mean to imply that headshots at this or any distance is unethical, that is up each individual. For every hunter, there is another hunter who disagrees with the first's practices. I only worry about what I can control. Taking head shots on unwounded elk at 900yds is stupid. Personally I think you went for the chest and missed. The elk was unlucky and had it's head in the way of the bullet. I watched most of your other videos and nothing there showed a skill level necessary to reliably make first round hits on sub MOA targets at 900yds. Feel free to hang some other evidence that would show you have in the past proven you have such skill. I agree with John. You got lucky. Nothing more. On a broadside elk you managed to clip the head and call it intentional... I have no problems with long shots as long as they are high percentage shots. I know a good number of professional shooters (scout sniper instructors, SOTIC trained SF snipers, etc), as well as highly skilled and accomplished civilian LR competition shooters, and not a single one that I can think of would advocate a head shot with such a tiny incapacitation area at such a distance. Not one.

I think that you have to be one of the worst hunters I have ever seen - if you can't get within 900 yards of taking a shot!
Most "proper" hunters try and get "up close and personal" with their targets - maybe you just don't have the skill....why on earth would you make a video of this? - are you needing attention or are you asking for help to become a real hunter?
