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

Mine was gopher hunting on the pairies. Had my K77 22. LR. Started to sneak up on a town but could only get to within 2 klics before the sentry saw me. Decided that I wasn't going to get any closer than that so I decided to set up my shooting bench. Kept an eye on em and the occasional funnel cloud that was touching down from time to time. Figured that I may have to allow for a bit of windage,when I started shooting, at least it was level though so that helped. Well to cut a long story short I wasn't set up for no more than a few minutes when wouldn't you know it a damn funnel touched down right in the center of parie town. Little beggars were sucked up like a strawberry squishy through a 7-11 straw. Honest, saw it all through my scope! Craziest thing you ever saw, they were going around and around. You know I would even say that the little buggers were screaming. Anyways, getting back to the story, like I said I was watching them through the scope, when one of the damn things was thrown clear and was coming straight at me at about 200kph 30 feet off the deck. I was thinking this ain't good. Guy might get hurt if that hit him. So I began a thinking better get him before he gets me! So decided that I would adjust the scope a few clicks for the height, had to act fast didn't have much time, (remember he's a coming at 200kph). Line up on the little sucker again, now I can see him clear as a bell at about a kilometer out. Lips were pulled back almost to his ass! Felt kinda sorry for him, BANG!!! Son of a gun must of cartwheeled a 1000 times and piled up at about 3feet in front of the bench!!!! Best damn shot I ever made. True story. Honest! Got it on my camera but unfortunately I didn't have a digital one or I would post some pics. Have a nice day, love you guys!!

LOL best laugh I've had all day!

99% of the animals I've killed have been well under 100 metres. Heck most are under 50. Would be lucky if my longest shot was 150 metres.

[Ajsawden]

all i can say is anything over 400 yards is a long way...

[goathead]

Always under 150 for me.Anything further out I cut down the distance its easier for me.

[Krico]

I've never had to shoot too far. I think the furthest was a goat at about 225 metres.

Statler,
That was just too much. We used to snare gophers with binder twine, when I was a kid. Got 25 cents for every tail. The only time I saw one in the air, my old man emptied his acetenlyne tank down a hole and then struck a spark. Needless to say, ther weren't no tail left that day.

200 yds is the max range I have set for myself. I practice shooting (off-hand) thoughout spring/summer for fall hunting. If I want to see if I can hit anything over 200 yds, I'll go to a range/area and punch holes in paper.
