Its interesting that we assign different values to different animals. Hunting deer I usually limit myself to around 300 yards(dropped one once at 320 yards).
My mate has a ranch where feral goats have to be regularly culled. One of my favorite spots for culling these goats is a back canyon where cross valley shots are 300 to 400 yards. As I shoot this canyon regularly I know the holdover depending where the goats are on the hillside.
Culling pigs on the wheat fields has also seen 400 yard plus shots.
If I happen to see a fox on my mates property a shot is usually taken regardless of distance - my mate has lost upto 20 lambs in a night due to foxes.
Blasting rabbits with my 22-250 will see me taking shots upto 450 yards.
The majority of game I have taken over the years has probably been between 50 yards to 150 yards.
