[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 468409, member: 10391"] I got serious about shooting long range about 5 years ago and am very confident out to 600 yards deer or elk. The reason I took the step up to long range shooting was to improve my odds of taking a good animal. The challenge for me is still finding a good animal and then taking him at 50 yards if I jumped him in his bed or 600 if he gave me the slip and thought he was safe topping a far ridge. I took a 29 inch 4 point mulie at 460 yards this last season. The hard part was finding him. Putting him in the freezer was easy. A few years ago I would have passed on him as he was beyond my PBR. You just have to practice your butt off at distance and develop a system so when the animal is spotted you can get the shot off quickly and accurately. If I don't like the look in the scope I don't shoot. I don't care for chasing a crippled animal into the next county. The real challenge in hunting mule deer and elk is finding a quality animal not making the shot. [/QUOTE]
