Default You Call the Shot 3!

Weapon: 25-06, 110 grain Partition with scope.
Windage:5-10km wind
Distance: 150yds
Situation:Last day of the season for your mulie buck draw and you've got about an hour left in the day and your buck is standing behind all the bush. Do you hope he moves up a bit to give you a better shot or do you take shot where he is standing.Or do you pass on him all together.

I wait to see if I can get a clear shooting lane to him, and if not, I'll pass.

Ya i agree, i would wait for a better shoot, it not worth wounding such a nice buck if the bullet deflects. Plus theres always next year

Gotta wait for a clear shot. Chances are he's turning tail and waiving goodbye. Hopefully he'll pull up within shooting range for a look back. If not, that'shunting.

not with the 25-06 but if you were to step it up to a 30-06 with a 180gr round I might consider, its hard to say what the decidion would be out in the field, but the right play would be waiting...

30-06 is no better shooting through brush. He needs to take one step.

You might be able to shoot him at the base of the neck, but the picture isn't real clear. I'd probably wait for him to make a step.

I would wait to see if he would present a shot, if not I would use my last hour attempting tostalkhim using the windy conditions to my advantage.

Only a irresponsible hunter would take this shot. You wait and see if he moves.
