[QUOTE="deepwater1, post: 177929, member: 9742"] I thought some of the other forums i have visited were a tough crowd. I came here for, what I thought was, a relatively easy answer to a question--not to start a ****ing match. I need a notebook to keep up. deadbeat--I grew up with 3 deer. I am aware that blacktails are actually a derivative of muleys. Moose and elk are a different subfamily (I think). No one, that I ever hunted with referred to elk or moose as deer. They were elk and moose. Lewis? I ran station (read very large ranch) security in both S. AFrica and Rhodesia. BMG were pretty common since our main problem was militant poachers. Almost all stations had what most would call military capability. Nonya--a lot of people, at the time, took J. O'C's words as the gospel. Times change. Silvertop/ the technology has changed the playing field significantly. The distances shot, now, were impossible 20 years ago. devildoc---I agree, that's why I came here. Oh, ethics change. fifty (sorry can't read my note) My last western hunt (since I can't do anything long range here, or with a rifle for that matter) was in '85 or '86. THEN it would have been unethical to take the kind of shots that you guys are successful at TODAY. Times, gentlemen, change. I know I missed someone. sorry. So, can a guy, who does not really sound like a practice, practice, practice shooter hit an elk at 1100 meters with a 300 ultra? I don't think so. I came here for comfirmation, rebuttal, etc, to THAT question. Whew. Thanks for the FEW that actually followed what I was looking for. [/QUOTE]
