[QUOTE="sako5, post: 175390, member: 7025"] I spent the last week in the mountains here in NZ hunting deer.Id shot 2 deer a couple of weeks previously but at 320 and 334 yds not at any real distance! 4 of us got away for the week and hunted some great long range country! [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/sako5/kaimanawasnov2007029.jpg[/IMG] The trick was to get up high early which meant 4:3oam starts and some big climbs to start glassing! [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/sako5/kaimanawasnov2007050.jpg[/IMG] The only deer i shot for the trip was spotted at 995yds feeding high on a tussock face.With the tricky wind a decision was made to get a bit closer.We narrowed the gap to 695yds and got set up for a shot. [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/sako5/kaimanawasnov2007015.jpg[/IMG] The adjustments were made and i settled in behind the rifle.With the video camera rolling i was keen not to screw it up.My previous best was 630yds.I waited until the stag turned side on and squeezed off.Steve called a hit and said the stag was down! We made our way up!Unfortunatly he required a finishing shot.Lesson learnt-dont leave the wind meter at home! [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/sako5/Copyofkaimanawasnov2007016.jpg[/IMG] I looked back down to the knob id shot from and felt pretty satisfied! [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j208/sako5/kaimanawasnov2007018.jpg[/IMG] Im using 160gn accubonds mostly with 95 gns of AR2225 powder.I look forward to pushing that bit further next time!
