[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2342608, member: 61747"] Where I am you can have close in shots, I'm a bow hunter for big game generally, or way the heck out there. Can be steep mountain terrain or high open desert. I like to hunt yotes and wolves in the winter so I generally have a lot of opportunity to shoot at yotes in winter mountain range. I feel more confident sub 1000 but have shot several yotes from 1125-1475. That's a pretty tall order on a small target in less than ideal conditions tho. Not a high confidence gig unless the wind is minimal. For big game, I tend to get as close as I can first and foremost but if my cartridge is capable of producing good terminal performance I may push the max effective range. I would say it is quite typical to see 300-500 yard shots opportunities on big game here. Typical open mountain terrain. It's not that thick in my part of the state. [/QUOTE]
