[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2900631, member: 109862"] I knew a man, since deceased, who while very competitive had no reluctance to admit he missed…because he still hit and came home with his elk (or moose, can’t recall). He shot it on a frozen over lake (Saskatchewan in December, a late season) and while normally an incredible natural marksmen AND eyeballer of distance, he misjudged how far away it was BY A LOT. again, on a frozen lake, not right near the shore/treeline, so absolutely no sense of scale or reference…just white everywhere and an animal in the middle of it. The bullet actually bounced off the ice and miraculously kept going straight, double lunged the beast anyway, did a 100-200 yard dead run and piled up. But he knew something was off when he realized how dang far he was having to walk to get to it, and went back over everything after and sure enough you could see the big scratch/gouge and sooty appearance in the ice where it made contact. 7mm rem mag.
