Bragging about low percentage shots like head, neck or uber long range shots...

You left out running shots, I am assuming this was an oversight.:)

You don't miss much do ya...:redface:
Is it being judgemental or sounding like a braggart, or just voicing an opinion? Your guess is as good as mine... it's a fine line to walk brother.:runaway:
I admit to taking running shots... and I have taken some really long ones too! Which by the way is the subject of this thread.:rockOn:

Venison shot full of adrenaline and bullets and marinated in recently ingested, pre-digested and fully digested indigenous vegetation makes for very table fare meat.:rockOn:
 
I have to admit that I was one of the guys who voted 75 yards,for the simple reason that most of the time I have had to shoot of hand either I was walking to or from my blind or treestand. The way that I take it is that in most hunting applications this is really the only time that you get a chance to shoot of hand, because the first thing you do when you hit your setup is sit down and be quiet. And when I used to hunt up north with dogs most watches were not any longer than about 125 yards because of trees ,brush etc... Anyway all the guys out there that hunt with dogs know that the deer is not stopping to give you picture perfect broadside shots when it has dogs nipping at its heels,so most of the time you wait till the last second to gain any more distance closer that you can.
 
You do realize that I was not hacking on you Cookie...

Totally...

I'm having as much fun as you...

Hey guys did I mention that I shoot 2 deer that where running beside each other with one bullet... :rockOn:

Yes it was a cheap shot.So tell me,are you one of those people that can only make themselves look good by putting others down? tsk tsk tsk.

My numbers are honest numbers and I only shoot what I need for the freezer.I'm not in a head count race like so many here.:p
 
No worries win70 your post speaks for itself.... I don't post numbers cuz it always sounds like a race or a contest whenever anyone does... and if I do Captain Deadly will be all over me like a Smart Kid on a Fattie!:bangHead:
I don't need to put down others to look good... I look real good without any assistance at all thanx:cool:
I just put down the others that stand there asking for it.:slap::D

I read your poll... that really contributes a lot of useful information to the forum... :onCrack:
And yes in my world 44 is a miniscule number... I checked my #### size this morning and I still don't need to make frivolous claims to bolster my ego.:runaway:
By the way you called me a dumbass... your Momma.:dancingbanana:
