[QUOTE="jrdoty, post: 83297, member: 4196"] 7mmmag man you can come hunt with me if you want, in d-5 zone. I saw a couple of really nice bucks there last year. I didn't kill one though (didn't think I could kill them at 600 yards). But I did get a nice bear and a small forked horn in A zone last year, and passed on a small buck this year in A zone with my rifle. From your other post in the ballistics section, it sounds like your seeing a few deer, why not try to get within 500 yards and kill it than miss them at 800+. 800 yards is a very long shot especially on a deer as small as a black tail, which as you know rarely will get over 100 pounds live weight. I limit my shots to 600 with no wind, and under 400 with any cross wind more than 10 mph. I'll share a secret with you. If you really want to kill a deer find a good spot and climb a tree. This really works. You will see a lot of deer that you normally would not because the deer have no idea you are there. any way let me know if you want to go hunt those d-5 bucks. by the way how did the elk hunt go.
