Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Long range hunting?

The question actually was what is the typical distance we take big game at, not the longest distances at which we've done it.
My reply was #1 because most of the time I'd rather try to get close.
Not in this case, though, when this big male baboon stopped after a 640 meter (700 yds) run when he thought he was safe, too far for a 105gr VLD from my 6XC to reach him. :-))
