We had been looking for cat tracks and Kris's cat hunter Vlad provides great commentary. John Burns I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

I'm not going to lie, I'm in the same boat. 300 yards is about this ole Georgia boys max. But then again, I don't practice, set up equipment or have anywhere to shoot that far so I'm ok. Still, the accuracy and just flat our proof is unreal! Enjoying Each Sunrise...

Anybody who is a real hunter knows that at that range the 50bmg is the only cartridge capable of penetrating hide reliably. John probably had some fancy new fangled fin stabalized satalite laser guided sabo round launched from a special production smooth bore barrel at 5000 fps. As you can see in the video it barely killed the deer. I think I may have seen it wink at John before expiring even. I don't know, we will have to see the replay and make the final call.

Question - when adjusting the turret I noticed you went past your mark and then back to it. Do you do this every time as SOP?

Congrats on the buck John - and yes - I'd like to see a photo of him too. 760 yards... wow... I can practice regularly to 600, but it's tougher to get beyond that. Regards, Guy
