[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 499925, member: 11717"] I was just having a little fun with that comment.... and let's take a look at what I actually said.... And that is quite true. I'm originally from PA and hunted the Appalachians and also spent 4 years in Plattsburgh NY, and hunted the Adirondacks as well. I've been through most of, if not all the Appalachian states, from GA to Maine and am very familiar with the Adirondacks and White Mountains. I would say that W.VA probably has the steepest slopes, valleys and hollows on average in the Appalachian range. The Eastern mountains are much more worn down and forested over than the Rocky's and other Western ranges. You'll be hard pressed to find many, or even few, LR 30* angle shots on whitetails in those mountains. Yeah sure, you might find a couple, or even a few, but they are rare. Also, most of the best whitetail hunting will be around farm country. Anyway, like I said it was just a lite comment leading into my main point which was... when angle shooting, bullet path through the body and vitals should be considered as well :) [/QUOTE]
