Boyd, I saved the pic to zoom in on it. Is there really a buck under the rock there, I can see something but can't quite make it out, looks like he's looking left though if it is?
I'm guessing you killed the buck and are saving the juicy details until everyone plays their cards?
Where we go to shoot Ultra Long Range, just screwing around, the hits are seen MUCH more easily with the big 300gr Sierras out of the 338/378wby than any of the smaller 30 calibers, that's a fact. The 220-240's might be a better comparison but all we've used is 180's in the 30's so far. The 300's SMACK the crap out of most everything hit with authority!
The 15mph wind with a 30min switch in direction could kick you *** on this shot boys.
The hill only being 700 yds out and likely giving some amount of crosswind component on the updraft/downdraft adds to the disruption on the final leg of the journey too.
Even if the sighter shot caused the buck to move, I'd take a couple to be sure. The angle looks to be about 5 degrees.
