[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 873333, member: 61637"] This is a good thread! I live out west, and I have the opportunity to make some long shots every year. I have killed several deer at or just over 400 yards. Having said that, 400 yards was the limit of my equipment until this year. In the past I have watched deer early in the morning, or right at dusk, too far for a shot. I would wait for them to bed down and then try to get closer. I have had good success with this, but I have had deer "ghost" out on me too, never to be seen again. I wanted to have the opportunity to be able to connect with these long shots, and that is the reason that I have gotten into this game. We will see what comes of it later this year when rifle season opens in Nebraska. I got into long range muzzle loader hunting first, being as I started hunting big game with a muzzle loader. I have killed deer at 300 yards or more with the smoke pole, but more often than not my shots are 100 yards or less. I imagine this will probably be the case with the LR rifle too. It is nice to be ready though! :D [/QUOTE]
