Default RE: question for all you elk and mule deer hunters

i think a persons limits should be set by themselves, and they should stick to their known limitations no matter what.
I agree with this too. But like you said earlier... i know i said i killed a muley at 70, that is true. that was also a long time ago when i was young, and understand limitations. Too many people think that if they can hit a target that don't move, that they can hit a critter that don't happen to be moving at the time of release.

If you are comfortable at making those shots, by all means do it. But for somebody to say that you can't get an elk or mule deer closer....I personally think they need to try a little harder.

My whole argument with this post is one comment.

Oh really, tell us how many antelope and mule deer you have gotten with in 20 yards to!!
Elk yes, antelope and mule deer NO!
I just think this is a bogus comment to make. I personally know more people that have taken these animals in close range than I know that have taken them at longer ranges.
