I'm sitting at home with a tweeked back so I thought I would play with Eaglets program today and low and behold here's a fresh post!
I went to my favorite elk area on Google Earth to check it out. This area has been frustrating me cause it is a 100% guarantee that there will be elk bedded first thing in the morning in one spot but you can not work in on them so I've been trying to get the spots laid out for making a shot across the canyon. The problem has been the trees, they are open enough to shoot though with a rifle but I have yet to get good ranges, till now.
I've marked spots for shooting from and shooting to during bow hunting so I have set and confirmed points that I can see on Google Earth, I punch the numbers into Eaglets tool and got a 753.53 yrd shot, outstanding!!! Just right for punching into Patagonia Ballistics and putting a 140 Berger in the boiler room of a bull.
A side note, while playing with Google earth you can use the measure tool and get a heading for the shot, did not know this but very good for Coriolis!!!
Thanks Eaglet!
