Reynolds! I have to ask, the bobcat on the move... What, if anything did you do to compensate for movement.
But the elk at 8+ is way impressive! I know the 7RUM will defenitely do the job! Thats a great shot you made! |

The Bobcat was killing my Turkeys so it was one of those shoot at him and if I hit him, great, If I dont, Oh well. I dialed my elevation and put the first mil dot right of the cross hair on his head and I hit him in the shoulder. Not calculated, just guessed and got it right. I did not move with him. I set up and tapped the trigger when his head hit the dot.

Nice! Ive shot at crows from about a hundred yds or so, while they are doing their little "hop around" routine when they find food scraps. I just wait til their heads hit the dot, and let one go! I prolly get a few out of every ten that hop in range! Hahahaha!

I used to shoot crows until the Rabbit Sheriff got onto me about it. Shooting, or shooting at, moving critters is pretty fun.

Can’t hunt deer with a rifle in Ohio; don’t even own one and I have yet had the occasion to hunt with a rifle elsewhere so this is shot gun, muzzleloader and bow distances:
120 yards on a deer with my Mossberg 500 rifled barrel shotgun with a Remington 2 ¾” sabot slug and a tasco scope in an open field. I was on one end of the field and the deer was sneaking across the back end of the other. Aimed a bit above the deer and hit it just below the spine and it dropped and died on the spot. 200 yards on a deer with my CVA .50 caliber muzzloader loaded with 110 grains of powder and a .50 caliber 250 grain SST/ML hornady bullet and tasco scope. In wooded setting and I aimed and hit just behind the shoulder. Deer went 30 yards and dropped. 55 yards with my PSE compound bow on a deer in an open field set. Carbon arrow with 100 grain broad head and bow set @ 63lbs. Hit it in the sweet spot and deer ran 40 yards and dropped just inside the wood line of the field. |

I got a 'yote at (guesstimated) 650 yards. Took four shots to walk it in but the final hold over was 4 ft. with a 7mm r.m. I was so far away he just kind of milled around wondering wtf?
I killed a nice blacktail 3 X 4 at 326 yards with my .300 win mag and a 130 gr. TTSX handload. BOY, did that make a mess out of him. From the entry to the exit his insides were pudding. He still ran about 80 yards before collapsing. Numerous ground squirrels out to 400 yards or better. One hog through the neck, running to beat hell, at 375 yards. THAT was a lucky shot. I led him about 30 feet as he was tearing down the hill to the thick stuff. He was DRT.
