[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1253155, member: 94549"] I hunt public land also. These spots I hunt are long range spots. If I wanted to shoot animals closer, I would hunt differently. For me this long range game was 2 years of learning and I wanted to prove to myslef that I could do it without a 7k custom gun. For my buddies and I, we have come to realize that almost any gun can be made into a consistent long range shooter as long as you start out with a decent product. Savage LRH, Remington 700 LR and others with the same specs. For us it boils down to the ability to develop a weapon properly. Could I have gotten closer to my elk this year, maybe there was fresh snow but they were headed up into the timber. The deer I would say no. I already cut 300 yards off getting into better position and it was last light. For the elk I was off a road 4 miles and for my deer I was off the road 2.5 miles. If I were to hunt public land with 300 yards and under mindset, I would have a bow hunter tree stand mindset with extended ranges. I fully planned on shooting my spring bear long range this year but it didn't go as planned. I think it was only 150 yards. Ruger Precison .243 105 vld [/QUOTE]
