    Yes i did...It made great hamburger. Was probably the only thing i've ever shot that i didnt eat, but i bet something else ate it so i never went to waste.

    that's a heck of a long shot with a shotgun. hint, hint (seeing as how shooting ducks with a rifle is illegal... )

    between 300 and 350 for a bear and he fell right over. might have been border line for me but had 10 minutes to be sure before pulling the trigger

    Hmm.. I guess ill break new ground here, 460 yards on a mature moose a few years ago! (.300 mag.) I watched him for about 10 minutes, thought it was way to far, then remembered i had my rangefinder with me. After it told me 460 about 10 times, and since i was in a camp with 5 guys and had no meat after 11 days of hunting, i figured i better do my best! missed first shot, dumped him on the second! He was waaay out in a swamp, and needed another shot, all i could see was his head, took 4 more shots to get another in him! And 4 quads tied together to get him out!
    Distance was also GPS'ed

    7'1" Black bear in 2001 at a lasered 361 yards. Only shot I had, as I was on the opposite side of a drainage. The bear was following an old road, so I ranged a stump at a spot where the road disappeared from my view and then waited for the bear to arrive. The bear stopped at the stump, almost on cue and I drilled it with my .270 and a 140 gr Hornady IL. 1 shot and the bear made a 40 yard dash into cover. Took me an hour to drive around to where I shot him and another 2 hours waiting for help to drag him 40 yards out to the road. He had nearly 3 inches of fat on him and it was only the end of May. Makes the 6'1" bear in my avatar look like a cub, but I was still using 35mm technology back then and I don't have any pics scanned.
