Thread: Close.....but no cigar!!!!!

I hunt open country most, after a number of years in the bush. First few animals on the tops I rushed these like I was in the bush, now, I sit and watch the game, setup the video camera, set up my rifle, check the wind, range the animal, crunch the numbers for bullet drop, ear muffs on, wait for him to turn board side, check the wind again, line him up, touch the trigger, watch him fall over. I practise this about every week on steel targets in field shooting situtation. Almost all the time you want, did this on Saturday afternoon on a couple of nice eating Chamois, worked well!

Shooting in the bush is hard, even though hes closer and once he's spooked, even harder. Like Bill said, practise shooting in the likely situtations you hunt in. The more time out looking well bring results!
