i know how you feel nd hunter i practice out to 700 yards regularly and carry around my caldwel dead shot field pod(which is the best ever created by far) and i shot my buck at 316 this year i was going seriously i was hoping for atleast a 400 yarder but o well i wasnt backing up(

Here is a picture of my first elk on my first elk hunt. Shot him down in New Mexico on the first afternoon of season and it was an awesome day. I had done a lot of practicing shooting my rifle out to longer distances and then ended up shooting him at no more than 50 yards in the aspens. I had lugged the bogpod around all dang day all over the mountain and then used my knee for a rest as it all happened pretty fast. The second picture was taken about 30 minutes after I had shot my bull. I was busy gutting out my bull and heard some elk coming so I grabbed the camera and it turned out to be a cool picture. Now I have to wait a whole year to try it again!
