[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1048859, member: 12995"] I'm serious... When I show up to hunt somewhere, I ask them what fields nobody really goes to because the shots are far. Or, where is their longest shot on the property? They usually look at me like I'm either crazy, or some yuppie trying to sound impressive...But if there's deer there, there will be meat in my freezer. :D It happened on the property I hunted last year. I asked the owner where the farthest shot was, he told me, so I went there... 10 mins after I get in the stand, there's a deer standing by itself about 275 yards away... Take my time and finish unloading my pockets to see if anything else will show up (I was impatient, I only waited about 5 mins... LOL) So, I range it out by eye, Put the scope on the dimple, drop the hammer. Kicks and runs 15 yards and drops. My uncle came to pick me back up in the Mule, and we picked up the deer, he looked back to the stand, and just stopped and said, "****.....That was a good shot..." (Like I said, most people in Alabama don't shoot over 150 yards). We got back, and he told them how far it was, and the way they all reacted, you would have thought it was the property record shot distance. LMFAO Dropped another one at 175 the following afternoon, and they started calling me "The Deer Slayer". I would have shot more, but the season ended in the middle of the following week. :cool: Unfortunately I didn't get to re-up this year, and the season ended on Jan 31. Money was too tight to afford the $1,500 dues. I can't afford it on my own right now (got a few bills to eliminate first), so I've been trying to get my folks to go-in halves on about 60 acres near our lakehouse so we'll have somewhere to hunt and shoot, which will, of course, pay for itself over the years, because land always holds its value. Then I'll eventually build a house on it. [/QUOTE]
