One shot kill. Looked like a rock steady rest. Know thy weapon.  Very cool.

Big adventure for the kid. Awesome shot.

Way over gunned, should have used a 6.5

6.5 way over gunned do to bullet terminal ballistics and trajectory.
I'm really surprised on 308 performance, when I shot my elk 80 yards away bullet went through one side both lungs and stack on other side under the skin.

It's like posting a winning lottery ticket.  You don't see the pile of tickets that didn't win.

My 30-06 maxes out between 400 and 500 yards before it doesn't have enough energy for what I feel is an ethical shot.

Personally, I admire the guy that brags about the 20 yard shot.

It's not hunting.

So, how close in yards must one be for it to be hunting? Legit question. 200? 300?

For me 0-158 yrds. I want to be able to smell them and them me.
Maybe why I'm
Not that successful in the kill dept. but I have a lot of cool
Experiences.
Just me. But I don't get the long range thrill of the hunt.
