I have hunted 28 different species and subspecies of sheep and goats from the far west Brooks Range of Alaska to the Koryak Mountains of far eastern Siberia and most of my shots, I mean the overwhelming majority, has been closer than 250 meters,
Most of the times I had de option of shooting 350-450 but decided to get closer just for the spell of it.
Other times I just passed and looked for another animal, or took de shot if I was running out of time or stamina.
I hunt the mountains with a Blaser K95 Kipplauf or break open single shot and use either its 6,5x57R or .270 barrel.
