12-YEAR-OLD MAKES STUNNING 1,376-YARD SHOT ON BIG BULL ELK

[bornhunter]

I wonder how many critters get gut shot that they never show? Always patting them selves on the back on camera, but what's the truth? Just sayin.

I saw a show once where some "expert" TV star hunter was pistol hunting from a tree stand.  He shot the deer in the butt and it got away. It was very obvious where he hit it.  So they spent the rest of the day hunting for the deer with no luck. All the while, the crew kept commenting on his great shot. Next morning we find the crew still searching for the buck, and finally, they find it dead in a pond. After retrieving it, someone on the crew posed with the deer and made the comment that they were sorry the "star" couldn't be with them that day because he had had to fly to another commitment.  So the sorry SOB butt shot the deer and couldn't be bothered to stick around to help recover the animal.  I doubt the crew even bothered to keep the meet off that bloated up deer they recovered.  That was one of the last hunting shows I ever watched.

You can tell it was a really long shot because that kid wasn’t excited at all lol dad had a good time though. That’s only about 1,250 yards further then I have ever had to shoot something.

Unless he misses...........

It’s not that simple at all at that kind of distance.

That's Gunwerk's advertising slogan.

I purposely didn't open this thread for a while. Turned out to be exactly what I thought it would become.

Yep , A typical bash long range hunters thread .

Shot at 1000 yd across canyon yday in 8 mph wind.  Was holding off a little over 2 feet  but wind was swirling and verticle and first 4 shots missed milk jug by 2” each time.  Finally hit it next 3 shots.   338 Lapua

Buddys .308 was drifting 9 feet with the wind.    Couldn’t hit 20” steel.

Maybe you need a Gunwerks rifle so you can simply "range, dial, shoot".

Just read through this thread. Yes, I agree. Not gonna say the "E" word, but personally like a little more challenge when I'm hunting. I hunt to "hunt", not to "shoot"...
