to be honest

Ive shot 5 bucks and bull elk. and didnt know the range on any of them.

my first buck was close pulled up the rifle and saw fur yanked away and down it went.

2nd one was running, Im guessing 150yds, 3 shots one hit. luck

3rd hm trying to remember it. ohhh I lied Ive taken 4. the 4th one was a long shot up hill, I layed my trusty old 270 on snowy tree stump and held just over his shoulder. after the shot it went down slidding probably 100yds down hill then got up and crested the ridge. I falled the blood trail to find him watching me walk up on him.

4th was 100yds or so standing.

the elk was running I emptied the the 270 and had time to stuff a few more in it. nother luck shot and Im gurssing that one was over 100.

so i guess you could say Ive just been lucky to not have lost anything. only two were long shots though

If I had range finder Id put my maxumim on 300yds, since I dont then I dont know try and get as close as i can.
