Ridge Runner,
I know you know what you're talking about when it comes to long distance shooting. Probably why the deer in Mathias are scared
.
I also agree that no one could routinely make a 500 yard shot on a running deer. Another big reason would be because deer don't run in a flat line. The broken ground running of a deer would be much harder to judge or "luck into" at that yardage then, say, judging a horse on a racetrack.
Not saying this guy may not have made the shot, but he does'nt do it regularly--not running.
And if he does do it regularly, Why are deer always running when there 500 yds away? Talk about poor hunting skill
