[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 3133"] Really short one Got up 0 dark thirty Got dressed borrowed buddys truck took his son to his spot got to mine parked truck just off dirt road walked 600 yards to stand before I got to the stand saw what looked to be two large dark spots. It was still about 35 minutes before sun rise, dropped backpack off brougth up my 7mm STW focused scope and scanned for lumps, brown bushes nice going Dave you sniped a bush. Got stuff back on pack headed to stand. Sat in stand wind came up from the east blowing the mist in the woods right over me wooo what a cold front that was. Looked to my left, right and center caught something off of the left eye and its a buck (white tail). County I was hunting in has QDM, deer antlers must be past the ears, lucky him hes a small 6 pointer. I watched him, ranging him with my mildot and checkin out the way he was acting trying to insert into the ole hardrive for later on. Sat for another couple of hours see two does, ranged them 2 mils high hmm thougth about the math and damit forgot my range estimation card if it had been an MOA recticle Id have been fine. I figure they are about 310 yards forgot to switch the 16 inches averange deer chest size in this area (Georgia) to .444 of a yard, polish math crap, and instead used 16 times the number of mills devided by 1000 didnt have a pen so scratched it on my stand came out to be 310 yards or so, Set up the gun I'm to short this seat doenst allow me to hold the gun still enough the rail is to high dang, I set the gun back down put backpack under butt and reaquire targets. Ahhh thats better, wait their tails are up and their looking towards the direction of the woods a possible buck hell no some redneck bahain through the woods scares the deer off. Got back to camp thought about MILDOT formula and remembered the conversion to decimal form figured it out 16 inches is .444 I was way off they were only 222 yards or so, not a problem as i sighted in for 200 and form 200 to 300 I would have hit a kill zone area. Oh well I didnt get skunked I got to see deer that I couldnt shoot at and a turkey, and time spent with mother nature and learned more about the sounds of the woods, big 4X4 trucks make bad deer attractants. Got back home sent premier recticles an email and have price quote for changing recticle to MOA instead of assbackwards MILDOT crap requiring at least a pen 11 450 MHX to compute math or dedicated brain memory to insert complete mildot list, or better yet just dont forget them **** thing next time Dave. Oh well it was an experience that has taught me a lesson, as usual my lesson are always the hardest lol. Good hutnig and good luck. [/QUOTE]
