You ain't going to be shooting any deer from 465 yards where I hunt no matter what rifle you use. Probably 98% of all the deer I've killed in my life were inside 100 yards and easily 80% inside 75. Last year I killed six and 5 of them were inside 65 yards with the closest at 17, which is about par. I've by far killed the most with my old {1949} 94 Winchester and Marlin 336 .30-30's. You can do it here. But you really have to be doing it on purpose..........setting yourself up SPECIFICALLY to do it that way. The vast majority of guys' gun kils around here are probably inside 75 yards, too.

Saying you "have no idea if I'm telling the truth" I'm pretty sure is the same as calling me a liar...... Inside your head............ I'm sure it is.

Here you go. Ones I have on Imgur now. The only head mount I ever had done. Most of what I shot whole hunting with my granddad, including the first deer I ever shot. He did the skull cap mounts for me. The first deer I ever killed with a rifle, In James City Co, Va, just about the only county east of I-95 that allowed rifles from the ground back then.

You could do it here too but you'd have to be hunting farm country and shooting over fields and I haven't hunted farm country in over 20 years. What State are you in Yoder ?

Exactly the same here, and where I've hunted in NC. You can get a 465 yard shot in a beanfield, or some powerline or gas line clear cuts. May be able to get a 150 yard shot from a tree stand across some of our clear cuts. Otherwise, its so thick here you can't see 50 yards in the woods, even when the leaves are down. This is a very typical presemtation around here, when they aren't moving.

Nice buck there 10Glocks. I like your choice of deer rifle in that lower pic. I have a safe full of scoped bolt action rifles these days but my Marlin and Winchester .30-30 lever guns are still my favorite and most used deer rifles for how and where I hunt.

I have a safe full of scoped bolt action rifles these days but my Marlin and Winchester .30-30 lever guns are still my favorite and most used deer rifles for how and where I hunt. I was just down from a ridge overlooking a ravine. I stood up and walked a few yards away to take a piss. Was pissing on a tree when I heard a shotgun report down the ravine nearer the swamp. Before I was even zipped up, I heard the buck running towards me up the ravine. I had dominate buck scent on little pieces of cloth tied to a low tree. That buck came charging up the ravine, and when it hit that scent, it came to a dead stop and threw its nose straight up. I hit it behind the the shoulder a little high. It took off and started up the ridge I was on, came to a dead fall, stopped again and it went down with a second shot. I was using Federal Hi Shok 150 grain flat noses. Both bullets passed completely through.
