I saw the picture from where the deer was shot. In my judgement the shot was only 300-350 yards, who knows maybe I'm off some but it wasn't 600. We have an enthusiastic mother-son partnership who are hunting for the first time. The kid did make the shot using advice that was better suited to a 300-350 yard shot. We all know that 300 yards is very doable, someone in the family should spring for a laser rangefinder and go back to that same field and practice shooting at targets so that the same shot next year will be a chipshot.

Give the kid a dollar and let him buy a lottery ticket. I think he would have a better chance of hitting the lottery than making a similar shot two times in a row. Pure luck.
