I would think that the 10/22 trick could improve your tracking skills????

I killed A 131 4/8" whitetail @ 363 yds chasing a doe about 5-7mph. I couldn't get him to stop until that 178 a-max hit him. I still love 308 Win he was DRT

 

[Beanfieldrifle]

Boar, 8112 inches (226 yards or so)
Doe, in the woods 72 yards
Doe, 6408 inches (178 yards or so)

Hog was my longest shot ever on a critter. I don't have places like many of you that I can reach beyond that. Longest shot in any of my fields is 330yards.

.270WSM is perfect for my chores.

Brambles - those are some good looking deer. Where are you that you had opportunity for both mulies and whitetails?

 

[Brambles]

British Columbia, Canada

I have the opportunity to hunt whitetails and mule deer, quite often on the same mountain. Occasionally you'll see a good whitey buck hanging out in the highcountry with the mule deer although normally they are at different elevations.

In all honesty the deer you see above isn't a local deer to my area


BUT this one is VERY local, and it scores a hell of a lot better

 

[long450]

Those are good shots at any range!

Well my season here in PA was a little slow. Saw a 4pt. first day, but not allowed to shoot anything unless there are 3 on one side. Weather was pretty miserable.

Rymart, that was a good year! Congrats! how long have you been shooting that 338 Lapua?

Some of you guys had incredible seasons and some had seasons like mine. I shot 2 white tail doe in muzzle loader season, and 2 in rifle season. The longest shot was only 200 yards. That's a full 100+ yards further than ever before.
