[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 577521, member: 34925"] My apologies: for some reason I thought tso was the initial presenter of the PLRF05 so I neglected to address bs23 who is responsible for that revealing photo and valuable text. Thank you both. I went to the Hide and perused (for the moment--greater scrutiny later) the thread suggested. Am I correct that the PLRF05 is the [I]Terrapin[/I]? Also--if I recall it's bs23--mentioned about [I]smaller and specific targets[/I] beyond 1000 yards [I]consistently[/I]: this is precisely what I must have. The target must be in a place where I can remove it securely, in the shortest amount of time, and therefore my first strike must be telling--lethal. I cannot have a moose wander off into the willows and water where sectioning up takes enough time to invite the local grizzlies to dinner. Especially alone. This is all aside from humane considerations already considered and met. [I]I can't just [U][B]not[/B][/U] hunt.[/I] Two other considerations that tend to complicate: The smaller and specific targets are, say, a bush, or rock, or tussock to be as precise as possible at these long ranges [B]and [/B]where black bears proliferated once has now been taken over by grizzlies in many areas. This year was the first year--in the five years that I've camped in this same spot--where the usual black bear and lone cub left their sign all over the beach was completely absent. Instead there's been a small sow grizzly and her lone cub, and it appears to have been going on since breakup. After the shot it's one eye on the knife and the other on the scenery. [/QUOTE]
