[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1737621, member: 20780"] I Thought the idea was "hunting" not just shooting. If you were 1200 yards, how much closer could you have gotten? No flame intended just wondering. The rules of Fair Chase says and animal must have an escape route. How close could you have gotten if you were truly hunting using wood craft and all. Just throwing that out for thought. My record book bull was taken at 35 yards, my book pronghorn was taken at 50 yards. I personally love trying to get close, sometimes I get busted, sometimes they get busted. Everytime I get busted I learn a lot more than when I kill. 1200 with a .260 seems like a long poke, if it were me I would figure that is maybe 1150 yards I could maybe cover to get in real close. I can shoot at long range but I for myself only choose not to as the rush of going in mano y mano is for me to great to tempt a low percentage shot at least for me, I am human after all. :-) [/QUOTE]
