Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting How far can 6x take you?

I'm happy when people can tell what the pic is.

Bluritude is an art.

I've got it mastered pretty good.

Well I can add absolutely nothing off value to this thread, but I'll happily stir the pot if it keeps you guys throwing up pics. Hot damn there's some nice chit posted up here, makin me want to burn my house down.

The dogs where I hunt are starting to recognize The White Truck of Death

Went out to put Dogshooter's method to the test; stay on a stand long enough to have a birthday and glass 'em up.

Didn't see or call in anything in the first spot so I walked back to TWTOD and moved. Drove to the next good area and since my bino's weren't 6X, I decided to glass the next area from the truck from WAAAY down in the bottom. Glassed for a while and Caught sight of a dog moving. Watched him for a while. He'd look my way then move fast. He had me pegged. He had a couple of buddies with him. Thought I'd laser him and try to shoot him if he'd stop. Couldn't get a reading. It was because he was at least 1600 yards away!

Perfect 6X range for jordan.

Smart fuggers!

How far would you feel comfortable shooting at a deer with a 6x scope?

Hey, any and alla' you fugg heads...

Back at'ya.... with'ya....

Ah, the one fingered salute....a timeless gesture to which I never tire of.

Tanner, you can't post pics of gory bloody fingers, that may be too offensive...lol

Awesome pics guys, one of my best fishing buddies is always throwing a bird in his pics too...classic..

Jesuz Dogshooter, you and smokepole suffer from the same affliction, a lack of reading comprehension. At no point did I say you can't be both. Only that some folks tend to take a shooters approach to hunting, or vice versa. I was not and will not bash either side of the argument. I've been on both sides at one point or another..

You dudes need to grow some thicker skin, your sounding a bit whiny!! Simply stated that IME, hunters tend to fall into one category or the other based on a lot of factors....

Smokepole, "Beyond what is necessary" simply means getting closer is usually an option........

As I said I'm guilty of all of the above. I've taken plenty game at LR, taken shots that I could have stalked closer on, and have been over scoped at times. I guess if forced to, I would classify myself a hunter/shooter these days........ I have the gear and trigger time to be capable of very long shot's but ideally I'm not looking for one.. Therein lies the difference I suppose....

Accordingly something with 10x's on the top end is about as much as I need.

Either style will get it done, but to have a 60 something page argument about a 6x not being enough for shooting big game way the he11 out there is fuggin stupid....

Was this just outside of Topeka?

I find it ironic that a dude named Tanner has such a weak tan.

Gotta be a concrete truck nearby.

I hope.

Pfffff, I'm tan as hell bro. Uber tan, some might say.

Tanner

Beat me to it!

laughing


That was a 'few' years ago.


Tanner, I was obviously just teasing, great tan.

I never knew Sam had prosthetic legs.

UBER.

I shot a clay pigeon @ 500 yds with a 6X the other day. Mostly because I couldn't get any dogs to come to my bitch whimpers.

Nothing further.



Travis

Tanner, you gotta have your hat on dude!

Damn it Tanner, the thread took a turn when you flew the bird....! Unbeknownst to me 'cause a was busy typing all that with two fingers.....Well played, grin!!!
