Was on my buddy's property last friday and had a BIG 8 point about 250 yards right before dark. I wanted to take the shot (we were in a tower overlooking a 12 acre clover plot) with the new 700 .308 but it's his property and he decided he wanted it and ended up missing with a .243. I was a bit pissed because they kill deer every year and that rifle is built for long range shooting. I didn't say anything because he's my best friend but they're real finicky about their deer. I'm not being cocky but i had the cross hairs on him at roughly 250 with zero wind. I'm 98% sure i would have drilled that shot with that rifle.

Oh, well, it was a good day, we saw a ton of deer and turkey but my buddy was pretty dejected. He's a real good shot but i had my doubts with having sat all day in the cold and the fact he had the .243 (and not his short mag version).

The buck had real symmetrical horns and inside spread was about as wide as the tips of his ears.

I've been pretty busy hunting the past week....i'll probably go Wed-Thursday as they're my last 2 days off during rifle. I might come out of the woods during lunch time hours and shoot some reloads G. The deer are only moving real early and real late now so i can afford to take a few hours to do other stuff.

10-4.  Just make sure you let me know.  I figure being we have basically the same rifle mechanically they should do alright.

Sup Paul!  Sounds like you have fair grounds to be annoyed at least!!!
 
My son was hunting a filed where he hada birds eye view of the neighbor who was sitting in a lawn chair in the middle of a field about 30 yards from his house.  Said the guy must of gotten up and walked into the house 7-8 times while he was sitting in his own stand.  Later Saturday someone on that property shot a small doe paralysing the rear legs.  He had to sit in his stand and watch them take 15 extra shots at this doe all missing!!!  Finally hte doe collapsed and 4 of them all ran to it.  It tried to get up again and they all scattered like little girls.  Finally from about 10 feet one of them head shot it.  Dustin watched the whole thing thru his scope.  The idiots fully aware that other hunter were nearby proceeded to filed dress teh der right there.  Dustin was pretty POed cause it ruined half the afternoon hunt.  I told him he should have shot the doe after about the 3rd missed shot just to stop the idiots from scaring every deer for miles.

I'm not really annoyed. I don't really have the right to be as it's not my place. But they are kinda tight assed regarding the deer up there. Don't get me wrong, very nice people non the less. I was all amped up to take that shot and i think once he saw that it was a real nice buck he decided to take the shot.

That sucks regarding Dustin Bud. Sounds like a bunch of asshole meat hunters, or probably people who just enjoy killing stuff.

Does sound kind of selfish especially for a best friend!  You saw it first right?  Thats the rule as far as I'm concerned!   Whoever sees it first has the choice to take the shot or pass it.  At the very least he is a poor host!
