There are a few areas that are a little more open, but most of the game are in these thick areas. On the very edge of the mountain, you can get some further shots, because the loggers didn't get to those areas. But, my average rifle shot would probably be 20-40 yards.

If I can, I shoot my deer in the ribs so the Weatherby doesn't do too much damage. I haven't shot a deer with it in several years, though. All the deer in my freezer over the last 5 years have been taken by my son. I take him with me on almost every trip. If he still has a tag, he's up.
