Very cool! I can't imagine a 350 yard shot like that is easy. Nice looking buck too.
Who cares?I'm a bit confused?
Isn't firearms opening day for deer 1NOV2020 in Wyoming?
If he's in the proper zone it's a "Righteous Shoot"Who cares?
Bob tell your son right on. Congratulations on a good buck.
If he's in the proper zone it's a "Righteous Shoot".
Nobody wants a questionable Kill!
A questionable "KILL" taints the skill required to make the shot in question.
High wind within 50 yards of "Point Blank Range" is still worth congratulations as long as it's a "Righteous Shoot". JMHO.
But these are terms reserved for folks that do such deeds for a living, not the normal for folks filling the freezer with venison. Once Again JMHO.
A 350 yard shot exemplifies good Marksmanship, it also displays extremely poor Stalking Skills. Hunters pride themselves on the ability to "Stalk thier prey". Marksman pride themselves on the ability to make shot's that are outside of normal "Stalking Distances". 350 yard shots should be regulated to paper targets regardless of if they have been pulled off once. JMHO Again.
I'll accept Y'all's ire.
It may not change my opinion on a Hunter's Stalking Skill?
There is always that one sir. Must be an unhappy person.LOL.
I don't know why you find it necessary to take a shit in my thread and cast a questionable taint over my son's fine harvest.
However, what ever the motivation, I hope it made you feel better. Or...... maybe he can’t shoot for shit.
Neither I nor my son need to justify anything to you as to hunting legally, stalking ability or lack thereof, and certainly not a response to the necessity to avoid long range kills on game. Your comment is absolutely BS as it relates to western Mule Deer and Elk hunting where extended shots by competent shooters are the norm.
Have a nice day Sir.
Hasn't anyone else noticed a pattern with "that one" yet?There is always that one sir. Must be an unhappy person.
Yes and it’s extremely sad.Hasn't anyone else noticed a pattern with "that one" yet?
LOL.

Hey if your extending the invitation to Fort Stewart's 1K Red Cloud Known Distance Range, I’ll go on my dime with you. I was stationed at Ft Stewart from 2011-2013 as an Infantryman. Been there many times. Echo Range. Southern tactical also has a 1K range. Hell I’ve take my 16 inch carbine out to 600 out at southern from off a shipping container.Sorry you perceived Hunting Season Facts in Wyoming (Vice The Gulf Coast) as defecating on your thread.
Competent Western Shooters routinely make 400 yard + shots on P-Dogs. (But they don't have many P-Dog recipes.) Yet I Congratulate your Son's Marksmanship and you take offense. I'm assuming that the Game pictured will be properly butchered and become part of the years table fare which is right & proper afield hunting. As to Western Hunting, or Global Hunting I'm not a novice. (How many of those Roosevelt Elk have Y'all bagged over the years?) When you get done researching on Google, perhaps you could ask the General Populous what Dope they need to dial on thier scope just to get the proper Elevation on a 350 yard shot? (I'm going to bet that most folks reading this can't or haven't even got a single 350 yard shot on paper.) So if you persist on blowing the BS Whistle, I'll invite you to an MWR Event at Fort Stewarts Red Cloud Range as my guest, just because you need not justify anything that I'll testify/signature as a witness.
Still, (JMHO) the youngman made a good shot, but the stalking ability as a "Shooter" in today's or yesteryears Military Qualifications are a bit wanting.
Are you willing to accept my praise of his Marksmanship? Or do you want me to fail his ability to successfully stalk the most dangerous of game????
Hey War-Buff can I extend an all expenses paid on me Range Session at Fort Stewart's 1K Red Cloud Known Distance Range, or should I invite you to a little of the H-H Training I experienced from Mike Echanis? There appears to be a shortage of Vetted Veterans still alive on this forum today. I'll bet that the rank & file are awaiting your experiences while earning a "Challenge Coin" somewhere other than on a keyboard. I perceive that folks hold your opinion in "High Regard". No matter the outcome, I promise to keep others perceptions of your opinions intack. USN CWO2 Ret. Promise.

my comment to you was that you had to you from your first post

Not congratulate the young man, but question whether he was hunting legally, like come on man. Your not even in Wyoming, why should or would you even care? It’s not your job to “fact check “ his legality. We have it bad enough from big bother breathing down our necks that we don’t need folks in our community doing it for them. Be easy and have a stress free night on the forum.
We can post up credentials all you want. But my sniper school training cert from ft benning says I know what I’m doing. And last I looked when I was in the mountains of Afghanistan the only guys next to me were grunts. I have real world experience. So unless you have a trident, I have no problem schooling your boomer ass on any range.It's not time to slam your 6 in the wind. But The Red Cloud Range posts steel targets at 750 & 1 K yards. If you want to get butt hurt as an Infantryman I'll abide! Your Range Instructureter told you you would get instruction from a Superior Instructor from outside your range lessons. Guess who kicked your ass with an M1A/M14NM if you ever qualified to shoot at that range?
Jpyritz I'm that Navy Guy that kicked the (AMU) Shooting Teams Ass cause your CSM invited to your training session, to prove a point. Even if I'm Old and Retired.
