So don't shoot at the deer unless it walks in front of a large bank of sand or gravel?

tardfarmer - what say you to North texan's assessment ?

Someone shot another pregnant women?

Yeah, it was terrible. I was shooting at the buck on the right, missed and somehow, someway the bullet went through the window of a house and struck a pregant woman doing Lamaz classes.

Freaky huh ?

Were those Lamaze classes behind a sand bunker?

Good place for a treestand?

The sand would make setting up a feeder much eaiser. Driving those anchors would be no problem, and they'd pull up easily.

My point is that when hunting, seldom is there an ideal backstop. Hunting from an elevated position, like a treestand, doesn't help much, either. When you go from shooting a few feet above the ground at a deer 200 yards away, to shooting 12 feet above the ground at the same deer 200 yards away, your bullet's angle hasn't changed much. I've shot at cranes in a freshly plowed wheatfield from an oilfield platform (much higher than the average deer stand). I saw the bullet hit in the middle of the cranes, the saw it hit again about 500 yards further across the field. Like the point Champlain Islander made, no backstop is perfect.

So data, based upon your assessment and opinion, this picture represents a "good shot" -- right?

Why you see any cats in that picture?

LOL...

Bet data would take that shot, especially if there were cats present.
