[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1743717, member: 98025"] So, one snowy morning when I was a teenager working for a boarding and training kennel (Labradors) the owner (practically my Dad) said, “Let’s go drive over to the farm and see if anything is moving”. It was smack dab in the middle of modern gun season for deer. I beat him to the truck and He got in the driver side toting his trusty Remington 760 chambered in .270 loaded with factory ammo. It only took 5 minutes to get to the farm we leased and when we arrived at the gate we were overlooking a large soybean bottom. There standing in the middle of that bottom looked to be a very nice buck. He immediately threw open his door and laid the rifle in the “V” made by the door and the A-pillar and took aim. The shot looked impossible to my young, inexperienced eyes and I said ,”You’re not gonna shoot are ya”? His only response was, “Watch where he goes”. I immediately threw my hands up to cover my ears just in time to hear a “POP”. The buck flinched and dropped where he stood. I could only stare in wide-eyed wonder. What had just happened was truly amazing. I asked him how in the world he had made that shot and he just smiled at me and said, “You gotta know your gun”. My friend estimated the shot at every bit of 600 yards. That did it for me... [/QUOTE]
