[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 137904"] [ QUOTE ] What I see here, is that pop acyually does hunt and shoots mid range, he doesn't shoot beyond 500, and just believes no one else should either. This is puzzleing to me, I mean most places here on the net ya get bashed for 500 just like you would at 1k+, but when the converstion heats up pop climbs the fence to the other side. I for one would like to once again congratulate old bear on his elk, and add that he has accomplished what I don't see myself doing in my lifetime, luck or not, he did it and I'm glad GG gave him a hand at it. We all know GG knows how to get it done and puts alot of effort into helping others learn "how its done". Wasn't long ago I wasn't sure of a 500 yd shot, had equipment more than capable but just not enough knoledge to use it properly. I've learned more here in a year than I could have learned in a lifetime without help. So thanks to all the guys here, and hope next year brings more successes for the folks who do it "A FER PIECE".
