Oroville whitetail
« on: October 19, 2011, 03:50:16 PM »
Just thought I'd share a pic of the whitetail I got up in Oroville on the second day of rifle season
Not much of a story just happened to be glassing down below or position on the hill and seen something next to a tree that wasn't there 5 min. before when I looked in that area pulled up the bi nos and seen it was a whitetail buck. So I raised the 257 wby and let it bark the deer dropped not 10 feet from were I shot it at. Not sure how far it was initially just new it wasn't very big in the scope. The next morning I went back to were I shot from and used the range finder to range the tree and was amazed that it was 460 yards.

Wow, 460 yards is one heck of a poke! Good shooting. Congrats on a nice buck!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Dandy buck!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

is that 460 compensating for the angle? 
Such is life in the West and the further West the more the such.

Right in the middle of the brown blob in my scope. Really I am going up in scope power this next year I just don't think the 3x9 is enough scope for that range. Oh yea I'm shooting 110 gr. Accubonds out of the little quarter bore.

You sure your range finder isn't measuring centimeters or something? :IBCOOL:
