[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2484156, member: 61747"] I've killed 9-10 from 850-1300 in the past 2 seasons. I killed 3 2 weekends ago at the same area at 850, 925, 999. I missed the 850 on the first shot and then spined it the 2nd. I had to finish it when rolled off the mountain into the bottom at 650. Not very proud of all that. The others were clean kills since I then was aware the updraft on that side of the mountain was greater than I believed it to be. Same area the weekend before I took off .7 moa for a 1399 wolf which was a mistake and wish I had it on film. Sprayed that thing with snow and ice and maybe bullet shrapnel. I took off too much as once again I misread the updraft read This area is kicking my *** for wind calls. Its very humbling and intimidating as I believe it should be easy to understand. Monday I was hunting with a highly successful LR competitor in a different area and shot 850 and 1145 for first round impacts. Moved to another area and thought the wind here is weird, time to shoot and train, impact was a little high at 990, didn't account for the vertical like I should. After that we discussed what he would have done etc. Good lesson. [/QUOTE]
