I will go one step further , it would be irresponsible / foolish for ANYONE to try hunting at extended range without the information you listed . Yet the info alone dosen't mean we have the ability to make the shot. That ability is gained through practice in field conditions.

I agree Mike. Those with the skills to make that shot know who they are and I am not going to pretend I know what's best within those limits. I like/prefer to get close for the experience and to take a shot that will almost eliminate bloodshot meat - neck shot. The problem lies in that there are lots of Bubbas that THINK they can at 500 yards. I helped a lease member trail a deer that was very poorly shot. We'd spot ruminated grass and corn every 5 to 10 yards. We never found that deer, but the heard the songdogs ringing the dinner bell that evening. I felt sick the entire time I was trailing and probably pushing the wounded deer.
