outerlimits Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 ok, head to range to chrono some .223 & .308. set up the chrono, laid out the loads and proceeded to chamber the first round. i'm looking thru my vortex 1x6 at 1x when i notice something moving down range. i dial up the scope to 6x and it's a huge friggin' bull elk just grazing away...right in the middle of the chrono sky screens! sorry about the photo, but i maxed out the iphone zoom and it's still tough to see clearly-the elk is within the upper left half of the sky screens. IAC, i waited till he was at least outta my field of view. what are the odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 That could be a good or bad place to be in Elk season, depending on whether or not you were an Elk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowfin Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We see turkeys at our club from time to time. That's just amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bear Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've seen a couple of deer get shredded on a range. Track mounted M2 .50 cal familiarization was going on and between rotations a couple of deer came out and started to graze behind one of the trucks used as a target. When the platoon started shooting the deer ran out and the ricochets turned them into burger meat. Range control was all over us until they verified that the deer were not visible until they ran out.

chancyshot Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Our range is in white tail country & they must have attended the board meeting. No hunting of anything on the range. I had to go down range and chase off a doe and fawn during a cowboy match. And they did not want to leave. Chancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got2beshooting Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 At my local club something like this happened a few times. We had deer on our back stop for sporting clays and skeet. My buddy shot a clay out of the air and the falling BBs rained on a turkey once as well. I think someone said they had to call the rifle range cold because a deer was hungrySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I've packed up from my latest shooting session on my home range, to discover a small herd of deer munching in the next field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I’ve had turkeys in the range. Shot right over top of them and they didn’t even care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot right over top of them and they didn’t even care Real "bird brains", if you ask me Animals don't seem to associate large noises with death - the first shot might startle them, and if they get startled they tend to run. But, my shooting on my property didn't seem to affect them very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
