I shot my biggest deer (172" NT) at 280 yards with a .270 130 gr., and I also shot a meadow lark at 70 steps with a .22 Smith & Wesson revolver when I was 15, luckiest shot I have ever made.

One of the hashest or wickedest shots was with my bow.PSE compound w/XX75 2315 arrows and 1 125 gr. field point and a quiver of 125gr wasp 3 blade broadheads.
I was walking a dry creekbed chasing a nice buck when I almost stepped on a 3 1/2 foot rattlesnake.I nocked a field point and pinned the snake in the sand by his belly.Then I nocked a broadhead,just as I shot from about 3 foot away he struck at the tip of the arrow and sliced his head off except for a little piece of skin holding it on.

Shark now that was a funny yet sad story the shot was very funny but really sad that you lost your huntin pal i think i might loose mine he has a bad back that seems to be getting worse every year i dont know how much longer he will be able to go out with me he can only walk about 20 min then he has to sit he can only sit for about 15 min then he has to move again we finally got a john boat so he can deer hunt its much easier on him than walking we might have to get him a ground blind so he can move around every 15 min when hes deer hunting then he can get his first deer he just started deer hunting in jan this year just before the end of the season
