I shot this cow in the head at 400 yds with my .270! The night before the hunt I sighted my gun in so that it could hit a quarter at 100 yds. The next morning I spotted this lone cow and I got set up and waited for her to walk out of the brush into a opening. I put my crosshairs 4 inches above her skull and pulled the trigger, she dropped like a rock and rolled 300 yds down the hill. I shot her in the lower jaw all her teeth were blown out including the Ivories so that was a bummer, But I will always remember my first head shot! Ha ha

Lol, I guess I'm supposed to say "nice shot!" and it looks like a nice elk. but brace yourself for the flames that will be headed your way! glad you had a great hunt!

nice elk, but my question is, @ 100 yds when you were sighting your rifle in was your .270 a dead on hold?

Brandon, this .270 only drops 4 inches at 400 yards, instead of 20+ inches like normal .270's do. This is a super special gun.

lol funny you knew where i was going w/ this.

still wanna congradulate the kid but i get a kick out of the stories i hear sometimes of guys shooting deer at 300 yds w/ a 30-30 that you know was sighted in at around 70 yds and yet they hold dead on the shoulder and pin wheel 'em. sometimes runnin even! lol. no lead or nothin!

As I look above, I see the BS flag flying high in the sky.
You're either incredibly lucky, or incredibly stupid.
You're fortunate that you killed that animal, as you'd have given it a very slow and painful death sentence with that shot.

Please do us all a favor and pull every one of the posts you made in reference to this kill.
Taking shots like that is precisely what the bunny huggers look for when searching for things to hammer hunting with, and you've given it to them on a silver platter.

Bad to not have the knowledge to know, that more expert shooters can measure the jiveshucker or bs artist, with statistics compiled before the make believe shooter was even born.

Even if you weren't getting flamed and called on your BS in the other post, why would you choose to come over here and post this in a young hunter's forum? We are here to encourage hunting ETHICALLY.

Like I said, he's probably a Yewt

Yes, I caught that he is a yewt, but he's also saying he's a guide. Don't want the silliness to spread.
