Actually, on the one I don't want to crow about another officer was present. He was watching a different elk (about 1500 in that bunch) and thought I missed, which technically I did. I saw it drop like a ton of bricks through the scope. He thought I was lost when I started to walk out to it and was surprised to find an elk at the end of my wonderings. We only got two out of 1500. They bunch up horribly.

You don't have to believe if you don't want to.;)

Oh, I forgot to clarify. This is not about crowing. I brought up the distance to illustrate the effectiveness of the bullet at .308 velocities at that distance. Granted this is about 8,000 ft. ASL. But the cow at 540 was quartered to me and the bullet entered just in front of the shoulder and exited the opposite side, just in front of the last rib. Immediate incapacitation.

Oh, I know.

I had a feeling you had me in your sights. I hope I didn't disappoint. It's been fun. Take care and thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated.

I'm actually going out the range to zero a new tool. I better get back to the grind.

You're welcome. It's been fun watching you edit your posts.

It's a habit that I developed when testing for my position. It is pretty tough and I wouldn't want to do it again. My writing skills have always been one of my weak points, so I am incredibly sensitive about it. I focus on it to the exclusion of some of my thoughts, so I have to go back and correct grammer or add ideas I forgot to put in the first time.

I'll send you a PM with some additional details. You have gone down the path with me, so I won't leave you hanging. :)

A tenderloin would suffice.

Oh well, PM has already been sent. If you ever down this way, you don't work for the agency and your not family, so I can probably handle that through a donation.

Take care,

RB

Just pack it with dry ice and mail it.

You're the second person on this BB who owes me elk meat. :D
