You Call The Shots VIII
 

Weapon:.7mm w/ Scope
Range:300 yards
Conditions:Noon; Clear
Winds:Light and Variable
The Scoop: It is time to fill the freezer. You have a tag waiting for her. You have been practice with ole' faithful at 200 yards, dead on. She has no care in the world, but isn't coming your way. Hopefully another will pass or do you have time to clean her now?

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

yes I would take her.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

No.. i never kill does.. and a doe thats at 300 yards and your gun is sighted in at 200.. you're gonna drop a good4 inches in that extra 100 yards.. leave her alone..

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Why do you never kill does? And if it was a buck would that 100 yards change your mind?

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

bam her top of the back and let one rip

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Too far for me. I do not feel comfortable. I will pass.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

with my skill, probably pass. i'm relatively new to rifle hunting.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

i feel confident in that caliber and I would definently take her

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

300 yards is never a gimme, but with that set-up and lots of range work before the season, I'm confident and ready to fill the tag. That's what I'm out here in the cold and snow to do. I'm shooting....and enjoying some venison tonight.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

i wouldnt shoot at 300 yards

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

If i had a good rest, a sturdy branch or some shooting sticks or something, boom. For a gun of that caliber, with good shooting basics and consistent practice, you can't say no.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

300 yards ? that little doe will look the size of a squirrell:D:D

The body configuration tells me that is a young doe, no I would not shoot her.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

At 300 yards with a set up like that aim high and if i was comfortable with shooting at that range i wouldnt hesitate, we would be havin fresh loin steaks tonight.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Hold two-two and a halfish mil dots high and let it rip.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Your a tool if you don't kill does! I would aim at the top of the back and let her rip, she would be down!

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

with that caliber dialed in at 200 yards, with a 150 grain bullet it is going to drop a little less than 7 inches. I have ballistics to back it up. Im shooting, thats why people buy a 7mm for those shots.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

yeah you go ahead and kill does.. as of now i dont need to.. and i wont.. have fun killin those does pal, i'll just takes bucks.. thanks for the info TOOL..

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Most professional wildlife managers encourage hunters to havest does as the way to manage a population. Taking only bucks has little impact on long-term management goals. Overall population health and management is in everyone's interest, especially hunters. And, you can't tell the differenceonce it's in the freezer. Unless of course all you're interested in is the antlers, which don't taste too good.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Too far for me.....I like them close.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

My area is so over hunted that does are smeered all throughout deer season, so I dont feel the need to massacre fawns and does. I already see way to many killed. If you dont like my hunting style take a trip up here some year and see all the fools that come out of the woods with fawns and 70 pound does. It will make you sick.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

I'll wait for something closer.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

How many people actually practice shooting at 300 yards? Not many at all. I passed all does this year so she would walk also. Too far!

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

I have never taken a 300 yard shot. I am not confident out that far... I would personally pass... but would take it if it were a shot I was comfortable with.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

BANG!

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

I know my weapon "ole faithful" out to 200 yrds.I'm going to get a good rest, compensate for yardage and Bammm Flop - in the freezer.


BTW - Lets not get into a flame war about shooting Doe!

Lets keep it On Topic :)

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Take her!

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

7mm isn't going to drop that much! The 300 weatherby mag is just starting to drop at 300. It will be fine. I might try the shot if I was hunting strictly for does.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Three football fields away. I've got time.[:@]

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

I'd put on a stalk, then I'd shoot.

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

take her

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

yah i woud shoot with a 7mag i coud shoot it with my 243 wssm

RE: You Call The Shots VIII
 

Can I do it, yeah I dropped an 8 pt. at 305 yds. this year and I'm sighted in for such shots. But even though I could do it, I probably wouldn't because where I hunt I don't have to try that hard for a doe,I would wait to take a doe at a closer range or a different stand with a differentweapon lol! By the way, A shot that far would also depend on what stand I was in because I would have to have avery good rest.
