[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2341950, member: 12443"] Well first off you need to visit other areas of your own state if your interested in longer range possibilities. Take a weekend trip sometime to go where the Elk are and look around. That would be just a small part of the best long range area in the state. As for distance, that more than anything is controlled by the wether conditions, and how far you can clearly see. In Pa. as a rule during the short rifle season the conditions arent very favorable for the very long shots because youve got to find them first, then you have to confirm the number of points. And even with the very best binoculars thats not always easy to do. So even though there are places where 1 mile or longer shots can be made, as a rule nobody will be hunting at those type places. And the ones that are are usually just posing for pictures. lol In about 50 years our camp average is 6 to 800 yds. Longest is a tad over 1600 on a rare day, and not by me. In all those years i only know 1 man whose word id trust, to have killed a (buck) at 1 mile in Pa. No doubt some ( flock shooters) have killed does that far as well. [/QUOTE]
