Last month my friend joined for for a deer hunt here in idaho, we found to great bucks chasing the same herd of does around so I got behind the gun and was able to make a great shot at 1082 yards, after my buck went down my friend got behind the gun and took this great 28.5" wide buck at 960 yards
I'm shooting a 300 RUM, its a Lawton action, 28" ABS carbon barrel, MPI stock, jewel trigger topped with a 5-20x50 Vortex Razor, I'm pushing 230 bergers at 3014 fps
Yes we could of got closer and that was the plan originally, we spotted the wide buck first and we had a spot where we thought we could get within 400 yards. Then my buck showed up and we decided the best way to shoot both bucks is from the distance we where. Idea behind it is they wouldn't know where the shot came from and not spook which it worked out perfect

Congrats and thanks for your explanation. Not that you owed one to anybody, sounds like the right decision.
