[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 13288, member: 10"] JB, This long range game is a funny thing, to do it right, we have to be able to sit on our rifles for long periods of time just waiting for that 5 to 10 second window that will allow us a clean, clear shot at the vitals without the fear of the animal moving during the shot. Most that think long range hunting is a lazy mans sport certainly do not know the level of mental strength it takes to be a proficient killer at long range. Anyone can hit a target at long range with quality gear and a little practice. It takes a true long range hunter to slip a single bullet through the vitals of a game animal at long range. It take even more of a long range hunter to let animals walk even though they are right there in front of you. Still recognizing that your first group of does did not offer a quality shot is a huge thing, especially when your reved up looking for that first long range kill after all the practice. Patients is a virtue here and you have it. Respect for the game is what makes one pull off a shot when they know it is risky. There will always be another chance and in your case, the same day. You did eveything correct, you practiced, waited and made a fine "called" shot meaning you knew where the bullet would land. Congrats again. Only thing that could be improved upon is bullet performance but clearly your deer is dead with one shot, hard to argue to hard against that. Just goes to show you that its shot placement above all else that kills animals. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
