[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 479560, member: 13085"] How about the trophy that almost was.... New Mexico, Feb 2011. Spotted barbary sheep 1445 yards, conditions..."shiiiit" elevation 6500' night before last night. Stalked to 600 only to have him disappear at last 20 min. Placed myself in better position next night hoping he wasn't spooked. Next night: conditions "shiiiiiiiiiiiiit" , Glassed hill for 1.5 hours. Glassed clean. 20 min before dark he stood up an holy shiiit there he was. 378 yards 1 canyon away and he didn't see me. x ray goggles would have been the only way to see him. Problems: 13 degrees (hydro pack, hands, and even the wine was frozen) Shooting from protected wind position across canyon (10 mph current position) Ballistic software input quit functioning (touchscreen)(sorry sean) Rangefinder quit working d/t sun angle directly in line with target projected station pressure 25.1. Actual = 23.12 quartering away animal d/t wind questionable shooting light if waiting on last night of hunt Shot with best guess and missed 6 inches left d/t incorrect wind reading. On searching for blood, kestrel read 40+ mph at target. More than enough to miss a quartering shot. Tell me how in the H E double hockey sticks how this has anything to do with fussing over G7 BC's. I missed a 378 yard chip shot (after plinking 1000's all day long). Guess I am not a LRH guy after all... Guess I should spend more time arguing about BC's...................................................!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
