Know your firearms capabilities and more importantly your capabilities the right caliber for the situation and an ethical kill can be made on animals from deer to moose at double that distance

So you would take a shot at 1200 yards!

Right now no.  But after studying having the right equipment knowing what the round does in different temps and different altitudes and practicing that far yes..

Totally disagree. Your stuck back in the old days. Todays firearms with the proper bullet in the hands of someone who put the time in to learn their rifle is easily capable of those distances. You cant be the guy that shoots his rifle the week before the season and make those shots. Ive seen the njhunting fb page. Guys shouldnt even be shooting crossbows at 20yds based on some shots ive seen🤣

Well if everyone else on here agrees that 1200 yards is an acceptable distance to shoot at a whitetail, then I am OK with it. I will no longer stuck in the "Old Days".

X2! I could not agree with you more. One of the reasons that I no longer hunt in New Jersey is simply because its too easy. Most NJ hunters who come up to Maine for a week and do not see anything after the 2nd day become defeated and lose their focus. They can't wait to get back to NJ to shoot an 80LB spikehorn. I am going to Maine for the 3rd week of deer season and I am totally prepared to not see a deer for the entire week. And you know what- I will be right back up there next year. It is about the hunter and not the deer!

Agreed! Was tracking a buck in the snow last year and got caught up with how close I was getting to it after almost 2 hours since the track started. 

Looked at my GPS and discovered I was less than 6 miles away from the Canadian border. Had to break it off and head back. Made it back to the truck just before dark. 

The pack of howling yotes or wolves up there less than 75 yards away from me made the walk back interesting to say the least...

That was a family of Squatches howling.

Your opinion. If you have a rifle and good glass there's no problem doing it. I've done it so I know. Even killed coyotes to 450.

Lou needs an eye exam if he can't shoot a coyote at 75yds.
Guys are claiming 1200yd. cold bore shots!
I'll let you shoot my Rem 700 so you can join the 1200 club!
Booner got me some H1000 and I'm all up to speed with Gunwerks loading recommendations for speed.
