Yes we ranged it ... after he shot it. We were on top of a ridge and hewas bumping me some deer. The biggest one in the bunch ran down the ridge, across the creek and nine tenths of the way back up the other ridge. Boom!
One shot ... after I heard him shoot, I walked over to where he was and then ranged it ... five hundred, ten yards, five-one-zero. It wasn't 1 in 1,000,000. He does it all the time.
And, to lend to his credibility, he has the Kentucky State Record ... the third largest typical deer ever taken. Here is a picture of the deer ...

all I wanna know about is, when the 10 pointer was shot at 510 yds free handed, running, was it with a mirror over the shoulder?
c'mon, I've shot a few at 500 and much more, you don't shoot running game that far, with an average firearm the lead would have to be 26 feet on a running deer,even if your buddy made the shot it was a 1 in 1000000, luck shot. In the game of LR deer hunting you don't count on luck. yep I smell somethin too!
