[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2104598, member: 107258"] Good common sense approach! One I had driven home the hard way as a younger guy - got a little cocky and tried an across-the-hayfield shot on a dandy of a buck. Wasn't all that windy...until of course the second I squeezed it off and my tree swayed a few inches sideways in what had to be the biggest gust of the day. Yep, arrogance has a price alright...bottom line - tracked for a lot longer distance than I was happy about, and a couple of private landowners were not very nice to me. Finally lost blood and he made it down into heavy swamp cover...and of course it snowed like crazy that night. Tried for two more days - Lost a fine buck. Learned a lesson I always share with new hunters - always stay within your known capabilities. Don't shoot 300 at the range then assume you can still make it count beyond that! [/QUOTE]
