After 40 years of dreaming and applying, I got my chance last weekend. We came out heavy. The bulls were really Leary of calls and we were able to get within 834.2 yards and my .300 RUM did the job. I'm so relieved that I was able to get it done after all those years of applying and patience.

@bcstoneram just so you know the rules of LRH, you don't have to wait another 11 years to post up a kill.

My Sig Kilo 5k reports to the 1/10 yd (or) meter to 999.9 whatever. From 1000+ it doesn't.

I like your lawn rat. Here's mine.

I am another one of those that barely post.

Congratulations on your achievement, but is 834 yards really an ethical shot?

Those who can do. Those who can't yep like a Democrat.

Thank you! The fact is, we knew we'd have issues getting close. The day before my opener we checked my rig at 700 and 1,100 yards, as well as chronograph readings at the same altitude these elk are hanging out. So I had actual velocities, at altitude, temperature, and humidity. I programmed my KILO2400ABS with this data that night. I took every precaution to ensure I didn't have to cut my tag on a wounded bull. Walt Berger said 1,800 is the minimum velocity for my 210 VLD hunting bullets, so 1,200 yards was the longest shot I was going to take. I was hoping for a close shot. I didn't go into this looking for a pat on the back, I wanted my bull. I prepared for this hard for the past 4 months, so I fail to see anything unethical about taking my bull within parameters I know full well I can put an elk down. My $.02
