RE: You call the Shot 2!
I'd let it walk. Already have the buck meat and just because I have the tag doesnt' mean I need to fill it. I'll wait until a meaty doe comes by - that way I get some more days of hunting in on the last half of the season!

RE: You call the Shot 2!
ORIGINAL: fingerz42 When shooting uphill or downhill, you always shoot LOWER than your target spot.. so if you are zeroed in at 200 hold it on your regular mark and it will hit perfect.. anyways i wouldnt take the shot.. its a SMALL doe.. oh and did i mention its a doe.. Aim higher if your target is at a higher elevation, and aim lower if your target is at a lower elevation. If it's high, aim high. If it's low, aim low. |
RE: You call the Shot 2!
I'm perfectly comfortable with the shot, confident enough to double lung her with my 30-06, but I'm gonna pass since only half the season is over and I'll try and bag a nice meaty doe later.

RE: You call the Shot 2!
I've taken many at that distance and farther.
Yeah, I'd shoot. The '06 is sighted in at 2" high at 100 makes taking that shot just a matter of taking a good steady rest and slowly squeezing the trigger. |
RE: You call the Shot 2!
that is a pass shot for me, I got a shotgun as my first gun so nothing beyond 125 yards for me.
once i get my rifle then ill think about it ;) |
RE: You call the Shot 2!
I'd have to say that I'd wait. Hunting season is when I can escape the wife![8D] I love being out there and would wait for a bigger doe.

RE: You call the Shot 2!
Sicne season is basically over here with just a week left, with my 30-06 I'd drop her.

RE: You call the Shot 2!
I have my 06' zeroed 2" high at a 100. If i had a good rest, i would hold low on the heartandbust her good.I figure it would take her high on the heart or low in the lungs. That is a good size doe compared to Georgia deer. So i would have no problem taking her.
