Post by: bullcanyon on October 14, 2012, 08:08:15 PM: It was downhill and with the bipod extended all the way out he was in a half squat trying to look through the scope. 312 yards and walking down through the cut. It walked into the timber before he could get on it. I pulled the bipod off and he will be using the shooting sticks instead. Now that I think back on it. Kind of funny. I would of really liked for him to be able to get a shot at that deer, but this just gives us more time to roll around together.
