[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 4013, member: 34"] That's correct Crow Mag The reason Ray took the third spotter OVER THE TOP of the deer was that he had NEVER killed an animal anywhere near that range and he wanted to be sure of the shot. We as his spotters all agreed especially since we (the other spotter and myself) "did not see" the FIRST spotter shot go in. You must be able to see the spotters and this is not "always" possible everytime. This does happen from time to time but is not the norm. The suns glare cause the spotter to miss the bullet trail going to the target plus other factors. This brings up the tecnique we used on Rays deer. Instead of going 100 yards left or right of the animal and on the same level, we sometimes put 10 extra clicks on the scope from the drop chart called for at that range, fire over the top of the deer or elk to adjust for our windage at an object which will impact over the top and BEHIND the animal. The animal will only look at the impact and have sometimes even walked up and stuck his nose in the bullet hole in the ground. We then make our adjustments, take the excess clicks off the scope and then kill him. WE used this techneque on Rays deer and it worked to perfection. The next or "fourth actual" shot was held dead on the animals shoulder and he dropped. The bullet impacted "exactly" where Ray had aimed. In reality, we saw "TWO" spotters go in and made our corrections from those two shots. The first of the three spotter shots, we did not see. Every hunting senerio has a different twist to it, but the norm for us without a new LR shooter along, is "two" spotters (that we can see) at extreme range. Most of the time one shot will do. As mentioned before, if you can't see the spotter shot after two or even three shots because of deep or blowing snow or other conditions , we will wait for a better opportunity or give up on that animal entirely.
