Ditto, Boyd. I killed two Antelope last year with two consecutive shots at 502 and 525 yds, respectively. The first was with a .308, believe it or not...
500 yards for guys like you and me are chip shots.Inside 750 the 308 to me is just fine on deer size game.....The bear we took last year was killed 675 yards with one 210gr JLK vld MATCH bullet that left the barrel of my 30 inch 300 RUM at 3350fps.(THAT OUGHT TO START SOMETHING)Match bullets on game...NO WAY!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Yep now that the back slapping and whooping and chest beating is out in the open you just chip shot yourself into the
class A***hole executive lounge.
Rost459 nice hunting story with your bow there.
Heres the difference between your story and the LD shooter one,you have managed to get or have waited for the animal to come into the zone inside which the animal would perceive danger ( if it knew you were there ) that takes hunting skill and landcraft.
If a LD shooter sets up all his equipment wearing (perhaps appropriately ) a clowns outfit complete with flashing light on top to take his 800 yard shot at a deer, that is outside the area of what a deer (in my experience) would regard as immediately threatening...it sees you knows your there what is it likely to do?...nothing most likely from that range.
So tell me mighty nimrods where does the term hunting apply here?
Buffhunter a suggestion for you,if you want to know about shooting buffalo or anything else african why not try
www.accuratereloading.com try the "I deliberately gut shot a buff at 30 yards yarn there"...purely as a matter of interest of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Personally I think the only buff you have had will be on your shoes before another day in the office <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
