Default RE: Ranges and yardage

ORIGINAL: Buck Huntin Girl

Okay, it must just be me and my fear of wounding a deer, but I have seen SOOOO many posts on here of people taking shots from 200 yards, 280 yards and even 300 yards!! Now, I KNOW my gun is capable of that, but *I* am not! I was reading about the young lady who took her first buck at 281 yards and I nearly dropped my drink! I guess this is normal for most hunters... as I hear people talking about it all of the time.
You hear and read on a lot of these boards about a whole lot of wounded deer and lengthy blood trailing too.

Just a few minutes ago I finished reading a thread about a guy who thinks it's just fine to shoot across or in to anybody's ground he feels like so long as he has permission on enough ground to park his butt.
