[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1518123, member: 71039"] Several years ago I had an experience similar to yours (except I never pulled the trigger) in Colorado that motivated me to practice and get set up for long range hunting. I spend the $600 bucks on an out of state elk tag to go with a buddy who recently moved there. Saw some massive bulls but could never get closer than 800 yards. I was shooting a 300 weatherby at the time, but I didn’t have the right scope or skill set to take the shots, so I ended up going home with a tag sandwich. I was ****ed at myself for spending all that time and money and not being as prepared as I should have been. I posted a few days ago about my group elk hunting experience this fall with guys lobbing lead at elk at 600 yards - it was rough. This was a pretty gutsy post on your part and I am guessing you knew you might get lit up by some of the members here. I think you got some really good feedback and hopefully the experience motivates you to put in the time to get the long range shooting figured out. I have really enjoyed going through the process myself. [/QUOTE]
