What’s the farthest you have taken a big game animal with a rifle?

[logman48]

Muley buck last year. 711 yds. 6.5 PRC.

382 yards. Pathetic and embarrassing. Please don't spread this around.

Hey nothing embarrassing about 382 yards!

1035. Antelope. Back when bergers heaviest 30 cal was 210 grains.
30-338 lapua improved

Under 50 yds in WY?

It ain't all like in the movies! I'd like to be a good "rifleman"…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter! memtb

Best long range shot was a little wt deer stuck his neck out into an old trail. I was sitting on an old rotten stump with a borrowed 12 gauge. He was a little more than 90 degrees to me so had my check welded and knees braced. First and only deer I saw all week so I sent it with open sights. Terrible impact to my molars and his neck. 125 yards paced.
Woodchucks pretty far. Win M70 redfield .257 roberts. Way before rangefinders but I'd say a couple par fours... 700 yards+/-

125 is a heck of a shot with a 12 gauge and opens.

I could see then and was young and lucky!!

 

[Okie Whitetail Hunter]

Elk at 750 yards and Muley at 540 are my two longest and both were in CO. Most my hunting in OK is within 200 yards.

 

[Boomstickin]

906 yards - Cow Elk
Fierce CT Edge
300 PRC
212gr ELDX
Bang Flop Dead where she was standing!

Until August of 23, it was 90 yards! Unless you find some good clear cuts, the timber here in oregon keeps shots typically close range. In august I tagged a bear cross canyon at 350 ish with a 300 win shooting 180gr norma oryx, which worked phenomenally. But it felt like cheating. Prone off a bipod with a .300 was substantially easier than a 90 yard offhand snap shot with a 30/06 on a buck moving through the timber.

Whitetail, 672 yards, Howa 1500 7RM, 140g nos BT's.

 

[Tallest]

I'm a grasshopper compared to some of these... Whitetail doe, 342 yards with 280 AI shooting 162 ELDX from a Ruger M77

 

[Tallest]

I too practice all summer on groundhogs. They're my favorite animal to hunt. My longest is 512 on a woodchuck.

My favorite animal to hunt as well, they can be challenging! And it's so satisfying when you can hear the hit!

250yds with a 350 legend Ruger American. NE Iowa is to hilly to get many long shots on. Need to visit my friends in Wyoming to pump up my rookie numbers
