[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 2276150, member: 19988"] I have seen a arrow in a deers neck that was still alive. It was a low shot. We seen it on a game camera. Me and the other guides made it out Mission to have our hunters take the doe out if we see her. I alway take my hunters to our range to see their abilities. Some of these people bring out some pretty hefty stuff. I’ve had hunters tell me they have hit a 5 gallon bucket at a mile. So when people like this come to our property I ask them to come with me to our shooting range. It’s just shy of 100,000 acres. I set up a 18” x 24” AR 500 steel target. I set it up where I want so that it’s safe. I’ll set it up at a unknown distance for the hunter to prove themselves to me before I let them take a long range shot on a living animal. Most people back down, but there are some that like to try. If my hunters brag about how good they can shoot then they should understand why I’m asking them to prove it before taking a animals life. I would say around 1% of hunters got a chance to take a long range shot with me when I guided. Most of them never came back and that’s fine. We don’t want people like that on our property. I don’t guide anymore but I still go out to the property now and then. [/QUOTE]
