[QUOTE="DanielLudwig, post: 586767, member: 4675"] I have two what I will tell. First one was a long time ago, still hunting with a .243 700 ADL, a big doe came out at what I later found out was 375 yards. She stood and looked right at me, and after I thought about it I decided that with no wind this gave me plenty of room for vertical error, so I would try it. I laid out on a bipod and held the duplex of the crosshair right on the deer's head, thinking the bullet would drop much farther and impact in the deer's chest. I squeezed off a shot and the deer fell instantly, much to my surprise. Upon a closer look I found an exit hole in the back of the deer's head of all things! I didnt find the entrance hole until I pulled the deer's lip back and found it's teeth all busted and part of its tongue missing! Second one is also a head shot, but I actually did this on purpose. Was sitting with a neighbor on a high point on their farm looking back over at our farm when a deer came out into the field, we talked about it for a bit and the deer laid down in the field. I told him "I ought to try and head shoot her", to which he responded "If you hit her I will take her". I figured that meant freebie so I ranged her, 303yds. I got behind the gun, asked him if he could see her, and dialed up for the shot. The doe turned her head sideways and I decided to shoot. Before I could get back on her I heard him say"Got her". I've got some others but I will keep them under my hat. Daniel [/QUOTE]
