ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner

LOL eldeguello, it isn't that hard, if you've done everything right ya just put the "x" on them. the one at 375 was a head shot though, laying in the nest, head curled up along her side, the 160 entered just below the eye, exited same place on the offside, reentered behind the shoulder, exited the other side.
The hardest part is accepting that 50% of the deer you see that you normaly would take will walk off without you getting a shot, or just disapear from view, if they are against a timbered ridge. from 600 back its pretty simple, just takes about 5 minutes to get set up to shoot.

The longest shot I ever took was at about 425 yards at a white-caped caribou bull on the east fork of the Gulkana River near Denali, Alaska. The 'bou was 125 yards uphill across from a 200-yard-wide lake. I was on the opposite side hill, 100 yards away from the lakeshore opposite the bull. So we adeded up the distances and got 425 yards. Very scientific! In those days, our eyeballs were our rangefinders.

Bull was shot with a 150-grain Sierra flatbnase spitzer @ 3370 FPS from the 308 Norma Magnum. Bullet hit him just in front of his right eye. Bull dressed out about 400 pounds......
