[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1882835, member: 5429"] Good thing about lots of wind, it generally makes them easy to find as well easy to get up on. Unless one is hunting the opener with tons of hunter traffic. Tons of wind will put them down and out of the wind tucked away and out of the wind. (they don't like it anymore than we do) I've been hunting the buggers for 42 years, seen an ark load or three them killed. Generally zero reason to shoot in tons of wind and or over 400 yards unless one just wants to. The rifle our family uses the most is a 22/250 with a 60 Horn HP(14 twist, I know the horrors eh....). It just isn't rocket science to reduce them to the freezer. In the last 4 years, we've taken 26 head of small big game (deer/lope) with 26 rounds. From 35-400 yards. 24 of those went right down (none CNS hits, just plink them behind the front take out the lungs) the other two had one take a couple steps and I had one 90 pound whitey doe that thought she was a track star and ran about 35 yards. They are our fam's fav table fair, so take good care of the meat there isn't a lot of them to begin with. [/QUOTE]
