[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1647230, member: 5412"] Not so. I saw the biggest 8 point I've ever seen in my life, that would probably score in the 160's on the opening day of MZ season. (Savage Smokeless, 250 grain SST Hornady chrono'd at 2350fps.) 300+ yds. I had the dope from the Iphone in front of my eyes. Could have taken the shot, but didn't. Was the decision an ethical one, or did the shooter decide to hold off. Shooter did not take the shot. Why? Long distance shooters need to consider what the bullet they are using willl provide the dynamics the bullet will provide. A heavy jacketed bullet won't get it at long range. A light jacketed bullet may fly apart if they are tried at longer ranges. Its the hunter/shooter that has to do the homework to make the decision to take the long range shot. All of you long range folks already know this. [/QUOTE]
