rost495,
As far as I know it's not illegal so I am all for long range shooting/hunting. You can only watch a trail for so long. Anyhow I want to see if I can take a big buck next year and I think my best bet is getting where I can see a long ways and then take the shot. Near or far. Instead of arguing about right or wrong,
how about answering a question for me? I think I remember you refering to the 7mm Magnum as NOT on the cutting edge of technology. OK, what is your choice for cartridge and what bullet weight would be ideal for deer up to 250 lbs? Say your shots were limitd to a maximum of 600 yards because of adjacent privately owned property. My first choice would be 7mmMag with 160 Sierra BT because I have one already and it works.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
