Realistic hunting challenge

[FL-NC]

Where I have been doing most of my hunting since I moved back to Fl., 50 yards is a long shot due to terrain and vegetation. I am about to purchase some land where I will easily have opportunities for shots out to 600, more or less. Since I have the equipment and ability to make such shots, I'm really excited. Cause there's deer and hog sign all over the place out there.

Wish I could get the animals around here to come out on to hard paved ground with no weeds, grass or briars on a nice sunny dry day about noon and in front of my shooting sticks, mats, spotting scopes and with an awesome back stop just in case of a pass through.

It ain't that hard. You just gotta have the right bait.

The last deer my dad killed before he quit hunting was his 2nd biggest ever. About a month after knee replacement, hunting on a friend's land. The ride in on the Gator was beating him up, so he asked to be dropped off on Bob's shooting range where the lawn chairs and picnic table were. Said he'd just wait there and not mess anyone else's hunting up.

Only mowed strip on the property, 40 feet wide and 250 yards. 2 bucks came walking up the clear-cut munching on grass. Dad said he didn't need his range finder, just waited on the bigger buck to stop somewhere out by the 75 yard target.
