[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2272084, member: 92702"] Not really, we are just playing around in a way. You are just north of my current location, and hunt the same kind of cover I'm sure. Flooded timber is tough. So are 120-160 acre beanfields. In many places if you shoot a deer in a field and it runs out of the field it is lost, due to it escaping in knee deep water. You have to put it down. Choices have always been pretty simple. Head shot, Neck shot, or bloodshot both front shoulders. There is another. Rear lung shot with a big, fast gun. That takes care of hold on hair range. It also gives quick kills across those fields if the gun is big enough. IMO these guns start with the 300RUM, 338 Edge, and go up from there. (With guns like a 28Nosler, I will wait until he is at least 100yds into the field, or not shoot across it.) You just have to be really careful and not hit bone close with them. Butterbean has a different way to maybe 600, this has been what we have been fooling around with. I like the idea for close and midrange, can't wait to try them and see where they shoot compared to the 190's. my luck nowhere close, and I'll end up hunting with a different gun in the woods and the fields this year. The .308 190ABLR started around 3450 will kill a whitetail a long ways. [/QUOTE]
