[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 233540, member: 12995"] Good mornin' everyone! It's opening day of bow-season here in Alabama & yours truly isn't getting to go...because of work. :( Here's what I've gathered over the past 2 days: Okay...I'm getting mixxed messages here? Is it, or is it not okay to shoot an average-sized (175-200 lbs.) whitetail @ close range with a .30-378 Wby. if the situation arises? I would prefer to take a long-shot, but from most of the responses on here, it sounds like taking a short-shot with a .30-378 @ a close range & not losing alot of meat would be a "long-shot"??? P.S. Sorry for the punn. Then again, others are saying that if you lung-shot 'em, then the collateral-damage isn't anywhere near as bad, as if you shoot them in the shoulder. Other than ammo costs... Do you think a .30-378 Wby. would be a good whitetail deer round for shots ranging from 50-500 yards??? [/QUOTE]
