I have hunted a lot this year, but started the hunting season off not even interested in going. I got invited to go on a hunt with some work friends, I passed on one amazing 11 point buck that would hit close to 150's but I spotted a bigger buck behind him that would hit mid 160's if not into the 170's, later on that day a mid 130's 8 came out and just didn't look good through the binos. So I text the people and I told them I was gonna shoot this injured buck. 420 yard dropped him in his tracks ( thanks DA for sitting the rifle up). So after I go look at the deer, I could see a big gash in his chest, 2 weeks before a young hunter 8 years old I do believe shot the deer and hit him low. They ask me what I wanted to do
With the buck, he's gonna be a euro mounted and sent to the young man.

Kudos to you for shooting the injured buck and heck he's a nice buck congratulations.
 
Congrats and great shot. I can shoot a bow deadly out to 60 yards but if I got a gun and the deer is past 300 they could probably do a dance cause they are more than likely safe.

I can see here we have a real winner and special boy at best. Have a great day sir, oh! and go F-yourself. I guess you wouldn't believe I shot a 170" buck with a muzzleloader at 340 yards.
 
Congratulations. That's an amazing shot especially with no exposed turrets. I'd love to know how you did it?

It was actually fairly easy

Considering the rifle I set up for him shoots 1/4 moa
With my hand loads

Rifle sighted in 2.75 @100 yards

Or

PBR 333 yards and at 420 yards 15 inches of drop
He had a cheat sheet


So hold a foot over the back hit him high shoulder

Good rest in shooting house easy


Or on that particular scope you can remove caps
The elevation turret is at 2.75 he could of dialed up

As they are spring loaded to rest once sighted in




But he did not have the data to dial up

Thanks DA for clarifying. A shot like that requires some preparation and a good support. Looks like he had both.
