Updated. New species and a game now summed up.

Decided not to open the gates on inanimate objects (although funny).

This is pretty dang awesome. Thanks for sharing

It is really interesting that the preponderance of the animals are shot between 100-150 yards and 250-300 yards.
thank you for putting this together!

Thank you Roe for all your hard work putting this into a clear and easily readable format. This is really informative and hope to add some of my own data soon.

[Trapper]

Roe, Thanks for starting the thread as it offers up quite a bit of info to think about. I wish we had started the thread with 1 more item added to the info you asked for and that would be if the load used was " factory ' or "Reload ". Quite a few answered the question in their responses anyway. anyway, Great thread!

I would like to remind everyone to keep posts in this thread limited to specifics of your hunts per the OP's format, that way he will be better able to go through the thread and collect the data quickly.

It is really interesting that the preponderance of the animals are shot between 100-150 yards and 250-300 yards.

That might as well be an effect of me rounding up/ down. If I find time, I'll try to re-do the tables to better represent the actual shooting range.

Here's the latest update, new species added. Best wishes for Christmas!
