Who here doesn’t shoot beyond 300yrds ?

[BLJ]

You are welcome to come out to NW Wyoming next fall and show me exactly how you plan on closing the distance or finding later a migrating mule deer.

Do we have to be successful????
I’d give a try.

I feel like I might have walked into something here.
Jfc?

I wish you only the best man.

I pointed out in an earlier post that there are some cases where you can’t get closer than what you get at that moment so you should prepare for it and he got his panties in a wad over it.

In my example I’ve got a 50 acre field of alfalfa 4” tall between me and the deer I want to shoot as they quickly graze across the open space on their way to the neighbors which leaves me with a couple options.

Option #1- I try to sneak several hundred yards around the outside of the field to get a sub 300 yard shot, theoretically possible but I’d have to be running to make that distance in the time they are spending in the field. Now I have to contend with exertion and adrenaline while making a 200-300 yard shot.

Option #2 - I sprint across a couple hundred yards of field trying to close the gap to under 300 yards and hope that the deer is blind, deaf and dumb enough to completely miss my fat ass in heavy hunting clothes running across an open field. Then I flop on the ground and try to make the shot while wobbling around like I’m on the SS Minnow during an unscheduled weather event on a 3 hour tour.

Option #3 - Act like the smart human being that I am and utilize the tools I am carrying to make an ethical 300 to 600 yard shot.

Same spot as my mule deer post above.
Archery season, elk.
Crawled on my belly through 2ft of snow to get above them.
50yd shot with a 500gr arrow at last light, after 2 weeks of trying to get in close to this herd. I can’t even begin to count the number of busted stalks because of how many eyes were always watching for movement.

Getting close can happen, but this type of terrain made it EXTREMELY hard.

No points. No experience.

And I’m not knocking your program.
Just giving you a hard time.

………20 years ago.

It doesn’t even matter to me to really kill something.
I just like being out there.

I can stack deer off the porch here.
