Above Williamposrt, PA just below the NY border I was hunting on my fathers land. He had an 80 acre field in front of the house, and I was sitting on the porch late in the first morning of buck season. This was the last year when you could only shoot bucks. As I was heating up leftover turkey in the house, I sat on the porch with my rifle and my dad talking about the mornings hunt. At the opposite end of the field, 3 does followed by a nice medium sized rack buck ran acrossed the field. Right before they got to the woods, I whistled with my fingers, and the buck stopped and stared at me broadside. My father told me not to waste the ammo, but I already had the gun on him, resting on the picnic table. I squeezed one off and the buck folded instantly, a nice 6 pointer with a 15 inch spread. I don't know how far it was, but my gun was sighted in 2" high at 100 yards, and I held an inch or two over his back when I squeezed. It was 438 paces from the porch. I used my Ruger M77 30-06 w/ 3x9 Nikon buckmaster and a 150 sierra boat tail on top of 59 grains of IMR 4831 in winchester brass. That is about the coolest one however I have shot a few running deer as well.

I hit a Chimpmunk in the heart at 75 yrds offhand, using my competition Anschutz with iron sights. Wasn't hunting, just practicing for some competition. That and shooting at flys, again with the competition Anschutz with iron sights, in kneeling and prone. Got them probably a good 8 out of 10 times. Can't see them with iron sights just have to look through the spoting scope to see where they were on my target and guess. Usually just see a little tiny blood spatter on the edge of the hole in the paper. One time a teammate of mine shot a fly at 50 yrds and the two wings where beside the whole. The fly was gone. Coolest and luckiest thing I ever saw.

Ha beat this, i just got my savage 17hmr 2 months ago, put a bushnell banner 6-24x40 on it.
my step bro and i were caln in crows in a feild. you could see for about 450 yds. there was a patch of trees at the lower end of the feild. i ranged it at about 350. a crow was way down there in the tip top of one of these trees. i made my windage and elevation adjustments. well actually i didn't make any windage adj.
i put that cci TNT .17 grain bullet right where it belonged, right behind that crows ear. (if birds have ears) any way thats where i think i put it, cuz thats where the hole all the way through his head was.
talk about amaized. that was the first shot i had made over 210 yds. those bilistic printoffs from hornady .com really helped.!!!!
