Default You Call The Shots VI

Weapon:.30-06 w/ Scope
Range:75 yards
Conditions:Afternoon; Overcast
Winds: Windlightin your face
The Scoop: This swamp buck is just getting of the heavy cover and heading for some more. You had a six foot clearing, but he has already passed four foot of it. It is too thick to get a shot after this. Can I say, boom?

I have confidence in that rig and am so close to saying "BOOM", but I just can't do it with that grass in front. Not so much worried about bullet deflection as I am hitting something I can't see there, like another deer or whatever elsemight be behind the buck. No good backstop, either.

I agree with Aught Six

With the blurred background there is no way of telling if those white blurrs in the background are what I think they are - houses.

So for now - no shot with a rifle.

The gun is more than enough to git r done, but with all the grass in front I would be hesitant to shoot. If you were into shooting deer in the neck, which I am not, then pull the trigger. Otherwise, I think I would have to pass.

Assuming those aren't houses in the background(It just looks like sky to me), That little bit of grass wouldn't stop me.

Man that's a tough one. Last day of the season and he's dead where he stands.
