You call the Shot 2!
 
Weapon: Your own
Windage:0km/h
Distance 225yds downhill
Situation: Its about half way through the season and you have already filled your buck tag, but you still have your W/T doe tag and you see a W/T walk out in front of you. You can tell its a doe but not a very big one. What do you do?

I take the shot, 225 yards isn't much, especially for a .300 Win Mag.

Since I already got my buck i wouldn't worry about meat, but in this case i have a 30-06 and a 7mm so I would probably take the shot.

My .30-06 is zeroed at 200. This down angle shouldn't affect my shot too much, but I'll hold about a half to aninch over the sweet spot.The doe is broadside and still. She doesn't see me, so I'm in no hurry. I'll ease into a good shooting position, relax and squeeeeeeze.....tag filled.

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 aSMALL doe.. oh and did i mention its a doe..

Size doesn't matter with a doe to me. My 7mm STW would put her down for sure.

I would pass unless there are more tags to fill. What are you going to do for the rest of the season?
