TX not the greatest shot in the world but with the equipment i was using it isnt that hard. The first shot was ess than 2 inches from hitting her. That was the first and only time i went longe range hunting but i would go again. If the deer would have been wounded we would most definately have followed it up.There are spotters that tell what is going on. Also she never moved afterthe first shot but stood in the same place. The guys that do this all the time are very safety concious and ethical hunters. Every thing is done to insure a clean kill and if a animal is wounded they do in deed follow them up. They just dont let let them go. The people i was with have shot where we were hunting for a lot of years they know the range to all of the opposite mtn side. and they know how to set their scopes to allow the shots. I am not trying to push another web site but go to huntingpa.com look on general forum and check back probably 60 days there is a thread with pictures .It shows the equipment used and has a gentlemans name that will gladly explain it to you.
