[QUOTE="skuna, post: 489024, member: 32345"] My longest kill was also my first racked buck when I was 16. A 6 point walked across a field chasing a doe. I had a Rem 700 in .270 with a piece of junk Bushnell banner scope that had a compensator dial on the top. I missed the first couple of shots, but once I got it dialed up to 500 yards, I drilled him. He fell and got up and started toward the woods edge, and then shot his front leg off with a follow up shot. I was shooting off of a forked stick that we kept in blind we built under the edge of an old barn and sitting on a 5 gallon bucket. I was hunting with my Dad's friend at the time and when he got there I tried to explain where the deer was and he said "no way". We got in the truck and drove out there and he still didn't believe me until we found the blood trail leading over to the field edge to where the deer laid dead. I will never forget the look on his face when we found him. we clocked the distance on the truck back to the blind and it read, .3 miles so it was somewhere just over 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
