Wow! 1073 yds - not a shot I would take. Nice buck though.

[huntnphool]

Absolutely increadable!! I cant believe someone would take a shot like that, just goes to show you what inept hunters they really are. If thats as close as they can get to a buck like that they really have no business hunting, maybe thats why it took two shots.

WHY?? How can you not get any closer than 1000 yards? That is a very . I don't think I would ever shoot over 400 yards just for the sake of the animal, which they don't seem to care about

Seems alot more common. The RUM has definately opened a can.

On a similar note, my bud Rich has a severly souped up RUM. Although I agree more with huntiphool, he took a Anty in MT this year at a ranged 813 yards. 13.5' raise and 2 feet of wind drift. Took 2 shots. First one did not hit the animal. Drift was wrong.

But what do these animals suffer?
Slow death probably...
Its all about the shot to them I guess...

Thats not hunting thats shooting..I guess we all have our own opinions on hunting..

I talked with a fellow down in the Coweeman unit while elk hunting yesterday, who told me of a buck he killed in Idaho this year with his 30-378 Weatherby at 770 yards.      Said it took 35 clicks up and that put him right on. One shot, one dead buck. Amazing, I can't imagine shooting that far. I've made a couple shots on game between 300 and 350 yards, but more than doubling that range seems crazy.

Not for me, and I like shooting long range.  I would shoot 600 in perfect conditions, and there was no way to get any closer.  1K is too far for me.  Personally posting a pic/story like that with the photo used shows me a lot.

I haven't taken a shot on an animal past 576, the one i took was a 1 shot kill, but I have the same exact setup as the guy in the youtube video.  Even the scope.  I have only shot it on paper in Eastern WA out past 600.  About a 14" group out to a 1000 yards with some odd wind drift situations. 

I have spoken to a few long range hunters who take two shots.  One at an object close to the animal with a spotter to determine drift.  The second one at the animal with a better calculation of drift.  The key is having a good or multiple spotter(s)

Right or wrong, a skilled shooter is a remarkable sight to see in action.

Here is the range I shoot at.  You can see the white spec in the distance.  That is a 4x6 piece of white poster board.  Sure is a lot of fun!!!!

[boneaddict]

Not real impressed actually.  Basically Huntnphool and the rest of you summed it up.
