[QUOTE="mw185, post: 244163, member: 7912"] Thanks for the thoughts and replies. I,ll give the rest of the story. Ranged deer at 504yrds, got set up, watched as deer fed quartering away until I had a better shot angle, then took the shot described. I couldn;t believe I had missed-checked many of the things mentioned then decided to range again. Found out the deer had moved aprox 50 yrds while preparing and waiting for shot-learned valuable lesson! Made corrections and made perfect shot. Good news, I had accopmlished goal of deer over 500yrds, bad news he had 5" spikes and I thought I was filling my doe tag-I almost cried as I attached my buck tag and a year of dreaming of big mulies was over-another hard lesson learned. The experience got me thinking what would I have done if the checked range was the same? [/QUOTE]
