[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2597530, member: 122313"] Wind gets me more than anything else! I've missed a lot of chances on deer and hogs because I won't touch the trigger unless I have a good range and rest. I don't rush shots at distance EVER because I'm not good at it. I get the "why didn't you shoot" question asked 6x more times than anyone else I hunt with. Last year I shot my 45th deer and I've only shot 46 times at deer..... shot one buck in full rut down in south Texas twice before he fell over. I thought the first shot missed somehow. Both shots were in the vitals but his mind was on making life not losing his. But thats with deer. I missed a few hogs with my 25-06 because I was stretching it's limits across a wheat field. 80% of the time I would miss left or right. 115vld's don't have a lot of BC out around 800yds and the west Texas wind never stops. Good survey idea! [/QUOTE]
