Shawn,
Sounds fun. Your definitly pushing the envelope........
Google earth seemed to get you really close. Impressive.
If you want something better, 1 meter accuracy advertised, let me know the county in which your shooting and target spots are in. Hopefully they are the same. Back east it may be a problem. Stitching two counties together can be tricky.
The county images are fairly easy to come by, depending The software is a freebie.
The hard part is the GIS expert that brings it all together. That would be me. And I'm older and cheaper than dirt.

What is the effecive range of an edge on animals...assuming the guy pulling the trigger knows what he's doing.

That's way cool Shawn, I also can't wait until you perform your next test shoot.

I don't know how far I would shoot at an animal in perfect conditions. I am zeroed for 100 yards.

I will go ahead and plug Shawn's latest DVD "Send It". This DVD will show the capabilities of the 338 Edge---great DVD for the serious long range shooter.

OK, so I thought I'd give this a shot yesterday with my Edge and found a spot with a pretty good size impact area that ranges 2120yds by GPS measurement. The conditions were 70 deg, 3490', 30%RH, 26.52BAR. Exbal calls for 81.25MOA and I ran out right at 79.5MOA (NXS5.5-22x50 & 40moa rail) so I dialed in 78.25moa and held the last 3moa with the reticle. I figured around a 10mph wind coming from 11 o'clock which was probably variable between about 8-12mph. After a couple sighters, I determined I actually needed 82moa and the 5.5moa wind was all the better I could guess for the varying wind.
Wind is definitely no joke at this distance and the only way I was ablet to get a decent group (~1.5moa) was to crank off 3 rounds as fast as I could to try to catch a condition. I did however get 4 shots to land in about .5moa vertical x 2moa horizontal area when I employed this rapid rate of fire although they missed my aiming point by about 2moa in windage.
Below are some pictures of the bullets I recovered. Impact velocity ~1125fps
4 shot group...well maybe better called a pattern

O man those results are nice.. almost comparable to cheytac 200..
Edit:Actually if you developed some nice loaded lehigh or boretech you might be able to close those groups quite a bit tighter..

I can't wait to burn out the barrel of my .300wm and turn it into a .338. gun) But having the gun, and shooting it that well are two different thing. Those who can pull off shots like that are very talented, and I salute members of that group. In ten years I hope to be close enough to be in your neighborhood, but I don't think I'll ever be on your street.
