If he is skilled enough to even attempt a shot at a deer at 824 yards why is he asking for help?
Either a mole or a typical DUmp liar.
Because he didn't. I can count on one hand the number of open spaces that are 1/2 mile around here. Few people here hunt with rifles--it's all shotgun/deer slugs.
Even when I was living in NM/CO/ID/WY, there was enough sagebrush, hills, rocks, etc., that you'd be lucky to SPOT one 1/2 mile out (and how the **** would he have know it was EXACTLY 824 yards?) let alone put it down, especially if it's moving.
