Re: What is the longest range you have taken a big game animal?
I shot a mature moose at about 400 yards 3 years ago. I turned to see him trotting for the back door of the cutblock I was in. As I was cursing my bad luck he stopped broadside for a look at me. I took 2 quick shots at his boiler (aiming just above his spine) with my 30.06 and he just stood there without any reaction. I cursed again thinking my scope was out or I had the range guessed wrong. I kneeled down and took two more shots at his head. The second shot hit him in the neck where it attaches to his skull and he dropped. Turns out the first and second shots were 6" apart through the lungs just above the heart. At 40" he is my best moose, but I'd trade him for a 100" Island blacktail any day.
I once shot a blacktail with a slug from a goose gun at 150+ yards. I won't do that again now that I am all growed up.

If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
