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.

Its clear that your clueless. The mule deer "herd" that I am hunting likely traveled 50 to 100 miles to walk past me. They dont live where I am hunting them, they are passing through. In the drainage I posted a picture of there are between 50 and 100 centuries old migration trails covering a drainage that is thousands of yards wide. Deer migrate heavily on all of them. Come on over and "narrow down" which trail a migrating deer is going to show up on buddy.

You seem to open your mouth alot with a ton of undue arrogance and condacendence. Try being humble sometime, people might like you.

Are we butt-hurt?

Its clear that your clueless.

The California Fish and Game Commission, who issued this sampling of guide's licenses to me, would undoubtedly disagree with you.

I’m going to shoot past 300 yards so much harder this year now.

You could also get proficient at understanding how mule deer use their habitat and, more specifically, how the herd you're hunting uses it, but then, you'd know how silly this statement is:


Do you think your mule deer that use the ground in your photo are somehow special compared to the mule deer that use the ground contained in mine?

"There is no catching up to them" when you have no idea how the herd you're hunting uses its range, perhaps.

That's not the case when you know where they came from when you saw them and have some informed opinion over where they're headed.

Butthurt? About what? Some clueless blowhard on the internet who doesnt know what hes talking about?

Get proficient with how mule deer use there habitat? Do you understand what migratory mule deer are? You want me to go into Yellowstone park to pattern deer where I cant hunt them?

Do I think the mule deer that use the ground in the photo I posted are different then your mule deer? Yes, the fact that they are migrating and dont live where I am hunting them makes the situation infinitely different than hunting resident mule deer.

There's no catching up to them when I have no idea how the "herd" I am hunting uses its range? The "herd" lives largely in YNP. Have you hunted there much?

Nice book of patches. Do you pin those on a vest when you go out hunting hoping to see some strangers to impress?

This is the second time you have arrogantly responded to one of my posts with a long condescending essay. Both times you have been dead wrong.

Once again, try being humble and not arrogant, you might just stand a chance at people wanting to hear anything you have to say.
