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

The most impressive aspect of this thread is how you guys can remember these shot ranges down to the yard!

So luckily, you must not know any golfers! They (we) can recount the details with almost depraved detail. Clearly why Gin and Tonics are so popular at clubs...

Under 50 yds in WY?

I did.
With a bow.

I have been told I do not shoot, fish, hunt, cook, drink whiskey/wine/beer … so, there.

Well for me I do remember, because it is my longest shot. I have a few dozen from 150yds and in, but that's a Normal or typical distance. Most are 50 to 100yds.
You can't see any further.

Took a cow elk at 512 with a 300RUM and 210 Berger VLD. My brother bested me with my own rifle. He took an antelope with it at 865. Both shots were one and done.

Once I drove all of the way back to Wisconsin from Montana with an Elk and a rifle in the car........

Not really. When it's your longest you remember those easy.

I took a coyote at 1111 yards off my front porch in central Mt with a 6.5 creed running 42.8 h4350 and 130 Berger. Most of my elk/deer fall within 550 yards. I monkey around 3 ranches that total just under 300,000 acres then there is national forest to play on . I use a 7prc with 175 eldx over 28.8 grains of h1000 . Presently building a 300 prc to . So I've got plenty of time to to fill my tags

I've shot a number groundhogs out at the 1,000yd line, but I've only shot big game at 500yds or so. Longer shot opportunities aren't usually possible where I hunt.
