[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 721375, member: 10291"] I personally wouldn't. A white tail's kill zone is about 10-12" depending on animal size for my liking. At that range it's hard to see a hit confidence of even 50%. The best of ballistics will give you about a foot of wind drift per 1-2 mph at that range which can easily be the difference between your shooting position and the top of the arc of the bullet. Add to that a .5 MOA rifle precision of 7-8". It's more likely to be twice that. There are several other variables that would add to the cumulative error. Rocks and coyotes, yes, a whietail tail, I would get closer. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
