Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Who Is Actually, Regularly, Shooting at Game Over 400 Yards?

If I wanted to shoot something at 400+ yards, I've got one place on the whole farm where I could do it. Just off the front porch there is a flat spot in the yard. From there out to the Jagendehutte is 450 yards. Here is a view from the Jagendehutte back to the house:



That's it. Deer congregate on that hillside. Conceivably, I could set up the shooting table in the yard and wait. Outside of that one venue, the longest unobstructed distance we've got is about 250 yards, if a deer shows up there at the extremity, I need only wait a few minutes, and they will come to the middle of the field and I can shoot them at 150 yards. This is the Garden of Stone venue, where we bag at least one deer every year. Before discovering the Garden of Stone, I had not shot a deer beyond 80 yards in 25 years of deer hunting.
