[QUOTE="Ol-hogger, post: 510864, member: 34170"] 147 yards ranged - Hunting from a treestand at the rear corner of one of my fields. I was using a 12 Ga. H&R UltraSlug gun with a Nikon 3x9 Slughunter scope with the BDC reticule and a Limbsaver recoil pad. The 3" non-tipped Federal Barnes Expander sabot slug dropped the 6-point where he stood feeding. 10 mins. into the season and my tag was on an antler. Suggestions: (1) find out which sabot slug your gun prefers (this can be expensive) (2) shoot your gun at measured ranges before hand and learn how the preferred slug handles the wind (3) either use a good rangefinder or mark the field in advance so you know which aim-point to use and where to hold (4) use a stand with a good rest built-in - any movement while aiming at over 100 yds will be magnified (5) build your stand so you can hunt with your back to the morning sun [/QUOTE]
