[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 133939, member: 10"] UncleB, I would agree about the Badgers, unless you pop one in the pumpkin, they can take an awful pounding before giving up the ghost and to be honest, a wounded Badger can dig himself down into a gopher hole faster then you can believe and out of sight and reach. Seen it a couple times popping them at ranges out to 500-600 yards and before we could get up to them to finish them off, all you could see was alot of flying dirt and nothing when you get there. That said, sometimes its better to be lucky then good!! Only takes one pill to the head to get a kill. Are there some questionable issues with the information on his shot, you bet but if the Varmint Hunters Association does not care to follow up what can ya do. Anyway, I to wish we could hear the whole story, may help drop any suspicion which really does nothing to help this honor based contest. But hell, I remember seeing a 1000 yard qualifying shot on time a couple years back where a guy had a prairie dog kill that he made at a bit over 1100 yards if I remember correctly. His load, a 40 gr Ballistic Tip in a 223 Rem Improved............... Again, had I submitted my shot we would not be having this conversation!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
