So Today I decided to take a shot with my Browning A-bolt 7mm Rem mag. It was on a Deer being chased by a young 3 pt buck. The buck dogged her in and out of a far woods/ field edge. I took a shot and missed, the larger deer, the hot doe came out and stood broadside at 350 + yds I assumed. Using my 4.5 to 14 Burris I used the second plex line under the center crosshairs. Second shot I dropped the doe. Stepped off on the way to the deer was 395 yds. It was a Very fun hunt with my Dad. It was my Dad's tag we filled, he was Happy Dad is 82 and has Polio...

Glad you got "the meat" for your Dad. I doubt a Creedmoor would have killed an animal that large at 400 yards. Those are magnum caliber distances.

Nice. I'm thinking about buying you a rangefinder for Christmas, Scott, that's a lot of paces to keep track of. I counted it Twice, I have a Nikon rangefinder, never use it. *** I just need Some 140 Gr. Bonded 7mm Mag ammo. Pert near out

My sister in law shot a cow elk last year at just under 400 with a creedmoor last year. Killed it just fine. More about shot placement than caliber. That is still a heck of a nice shot your made. Congrats to your and your father. Pretty cool to see him getting out and hunting!
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

Glad you got "the meat" for your Dad. I doubt a Creedmoor would have killed an animal that large at 400 yards. Those are magnum caliber distances. WOW. I spent 2 weeks hunting with someone this fall. I loved his stories about his grandparents who spent 8 months in the bush each year. He said everytime they'd go hunting when they got back to camp his grandmother would ask "where's the meat". It seems obvious that the doe was shot for the meat and to be given to his Dad. This post reminded me of that and why we hunt. End of story. No offense intended to 330 and his Dad. PF, I'll sleep well tonight and I hope you do.
