[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1886781, member: 13632"] I generally have a set pattern, first discovery mode, I just check the situation if were on a fight or flight or just rolling out like normal, then Kestrel and Leica get pulled a decision is made to shoot or not, don't have any care what the range is or if I can get closer, the only question is if the conditions support the shot, if they do game on, I'm there to kill animals and put them on the table not engage in some supernatural dance!! Then spotter mode kicks in and picking the best animal and position to take them, still watching and monitoring wind while setting up the gun, checking turrets for zero, leveling the gun getting the bipod and bag set up close and a couple rounds beside the gun, rough dial on the gun. Kill mode, settled in on the gun, dialed, leveled, round in chamber tracking on gun checked watching the pace of the animal and watching for the shot. After shot, watch hit and track as it goes down, if it drops rack a second round and watch for so much as an ear twitch and a second one is in the air, I hate animals just dropping I want to know they go down because of low blood pressure cause that's permanent! Pack it up, strap on the packs and do what it takes to get them out preferably whole but some days the pack gets the work out. We take time with each kill to learn as much about the shot we can, bullet performance all that, it's part of the hunt for us. [/QUOTE]
