[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 950987, member: 12995"] I can see you are also from Alabama.... Most people from places like Montana, Wyo, Arizona, and places like that where LR hunting is common practice, don't understand how it is here, unless they've ever hunted here. Most people in Alabama will hunt their whole lives and never take a shot over 200 yards, just because we've always been taught to hunt the dense woods and swampy bottoms where the big bucks live. I've always been considered "weird" by fellow hunters because I've always loved shooting long distances. When I go hunt with people I ask them to put me in the longest stretch possible, and they look at me funny...But I always kill deer. :D I've always enjoyed setting up on a hilltop and scouting the surrounding hills and shooting deer like that. You don't have to be as cautious with your movements or worry so much about being really quiet. It's also a surreal feeling being up there. It's the closest thing we can experience to hunting in Montana. Unfortunately where I hunt now (Greenville), we don't have any big hills or long stretches on our property. But the old property I hunted did have some big wide-open hills where I could perch up on a hilltop and scout around. It just takes practice man...Don't sweat the small stuff. You've got plenty of time between now and November to practice your LR shooting. Here's the setup I would run, if I had your rifle... It will suit you just fine for inside of 150, out to 1000 yards.
