400 yard trophy?

RE: 400 yard trophy?
this is in response to bullet_head. You shooting at a deer at 400 yards might be a bit too far for quite a few shooters, but there are definately people who can consistently shoot at 400 yards and longer. But to say shooting at a deer at 200 yards is too long is rediculous. If you're hunting with any type of big bore rifle, (30 cal or so) you should easily be able to shoot 200 yards. If you can't shoot accurately to 200 yards with a rifle, you should have your hunting privelages taken away. Thats rediculous to accuse people of being unethical for shooting at 300 and 400 yards.

I guess your right about the big bore not being 30 cal. That wasn't really my point. I just wanted to make it clear that if you are shooting rifles like that, that you should be able to hit a deer at 200 yards very easily. I agree, you don't need a 30 cal to kill deer cleanly.

[8D] I would love to printthis all out and hang it at the local Sport Shop. 300 to 400 yard shot is as common as tying your shoes. Anybody that hunts in open praire agree with me?

I still say too far for deer. If its a mountain goat or something like on those hunting shows then sure, go ahead and shoot. Its like a bow hunter shooting a deer at 100 yards. He might hit it in practice but never do it while hunting. Takes the fun away in my opinion. The fact about getting close. This isnt bashing anyone that does it, just my personal opinion, thats all.

NO WAY!!!The average bow shot is about what,20 30 yards?When a rifle shooter shoots 400, THAT IS NOTHING!!!I SIGHT IN MY RIFLE AT 400 YARDS!!!UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

The point of my posting in this thread was not belittle those who wouldn't take the shot for whatever reasonsbut rather to say under certain circumstance some will, may or can. Personally I would love nothing more than to never worry about taking a shot of longer than 200 yards, but reality is sometimes it happens and if it is presented in the right conditions I have no problem dropping the pin.
