[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2384475, member: 30902"] They have the most amazing eyes of probably any game animal on the continent. They also favor flatlands with little cover other than grass and sage so under most conditions you can at least see your desired point of impact and not have to guess based on relative body positions. I killed my first PH in 73 with a 243 at about 100yards. My preference today is a flat shooting 6.5-.300. Average shots are taken at pretty close range but with the low cover and incredible eyes of the PH the older and wiser Bucks tend to keep their distance and can spook easily. They are also extremely curious and often if we got busted we'd wave a tall orange bicycle flag to draw them in. Bucks that already have does with them are going to be paying very little attention to anything but keeping their does herded up and fighting off any encroaching bucks. It can be really, really exciting. The portable folding doe decoys seem to be very effective especially early and late. [/QUOTE]
