What is the longest range you have taken a big game animal?

[HarryToolips]

250 yards on a fixed 3 zoom rifle...

[twoSevenO]

4x4 mulie @ 400 yards

with a 95 grain bullet ..... out of a 243Win.

no, i couldn't get any closer.

20 years ago 500 yards on a coyote, fenceline to fenceline in Sask, no rangefinder but the ranch owner who built the fences confirmed the range
Model 70 264 win mag, Harris bipod 140grain nosler partition, bushnell 4-12. If I recall I held 1.5 coyotes above his back and 1/2 a coyote into the wind.
I wouldnt have shot at a big game animal under those conditions with that old setup but coyotes any day.

I am probably wrong but I thought it was bow only for elk on the island.

Ya you're right you are wrong.

[saskbooknut]

Longest distance in 55 years of hunting - 235 stretched paces on a WT deer with a 30-06.
I normally get under 100 yards.

Its winter bear attack reporting is slow this time of year

[835]

if you aim 3/4's way up a moose with a 270win 130gr and it drops the bullet 1/4 up it.......... that far

[caddisguy]

It was either 70 yards or 40 yards depending if the first or second (respectively... it ran my way) round hit it. Only found one hole.

Lets do closest shot on a big game animal. 3 yards !

Was trying to get some input on one of our members(mntman)turning 99 yesterday! Is he still with us? Where is he?...........

That number is a milestone in one's life-will be a century old in less than a year.
Chose the best thread to get the attention!
