You Call The Shots
Weapon: .270 Winchester
Range: 220 yards
Conditions:
Winds: Light a Variable
The Scoop: This Muley just broke the ridge and is chasing some does. You have a good bearing on him but he is still a little over the hill. Do you hope he chases them over the hill or take the shot? Maybe move into another position?

RE: You Call The Shots
If i decided that was the deer i was going to take i would not take that shot that is presented. Also if you wound the animal it will get up and run back over the hill without you being able to see it for a follow up shot. I would take my chances that he will follow the does in and get down off of that hill a ways. If your losing shooting time or if he goes back over the hill then i would go to him, but at this point you have to wait it out.

There's noreason to rush the shot. Just wait and see how it plays out. T looks like he's headed towards you anway. You might get a shorter shot.

at 220 yards i could place my bullet in it's eye BUT i would never shoot without knowing what's behind the target. so i would have to wait and see if he'll come closer.

RE: You Call The Shots
There's no shot presented in the picture. I'm not about to fling a bullet over the top of the hill to god only knows where...Safety 101 comes first. If he's on the move chaseing does then I'd hope it comes on over the ridge where I have a backstop for my bullet. If not then I might try and make a move to get a shot at him.
