Tastes just as good no matter what you call it though!

Good to see you enjoying the stalking and shooting and that you hung around on here too!
As Boaraxe said.
Nice to get the double ah now you need to try two different species in one hunt
Good on your son for also coming out to give you a hand. Maybe he’ll join you for the stalking next time as well.

awesome! hope the young fella gives it another go

enjoy the venni

You are right @Micky Duck in what you say however I Zeroed my scope at 100 meters so I have the other 3 dots set at 100 meter intervals and another 12 clicks after that gives me 500 meters so now I am used to it like that. I know a lot of hunters Zero at 200 yards and because of the flat trajectory of the 7 mm Rem Mag they don't adjust until well out past 200 yards and beyond. Thank you for the helpful tip because it is just easier to not have to adjust until out to the longer ranges and if I was a new hunter setting up for the first time I would definitely do it the way you said.

Thanks again for the good advice
