[QUOTE="SSgt G Cody, post: 2451876, member: 113303"] For most of us hunters, once we establish our max range for paper targets using our favorite hunting rifles, we hold our max range on live game at about half of that! So if 1000 yds is my limit with paper targets, 500 yds is my max limit on game. We see way too many wounded animals get away, and perhaps suffer for days before dying in the rough. A recent survey established that most deer-sized game taken beyond 600 yds had to be shot 2 or 3 times before taken down because of poor bullet placement! Be ethical in all your hunting; we owe our game at least that much! [/QUOTE]
