Hi to all.
I have just been granted permission to hunt a farm I have been after for years. Huge deer population, and numerous large bucks on the property. That's the good news.
The situation is, that the closest shot I will be able to take is about 60 yards, The longest is about 90.
Here's the problem. Due to the layout of the property, there is an area that adjoins another farm that is no more than 40 yards from anywhere I can set up. Anything that makes it over the property line is lost. The owner will not permit anyone to enter his property for any reason. This leads me to ask the following question.
I am going to be using a .58 Renegade, and am planning to use a PRB in front of 100 gr. of 3f.
Based on your actual field experience, will a well placed shot anchor a large buck before he make it 40 yards onto the adjoining property? With my eyesight, I have no confidence that I can pull off a 60 + yard neck or spine shot. Punching through the lungs is no problem.
So, were you me, would you use the PRB, or go to a heavy conical to attempt to ensure that the critter does wind up winning the 40 yard dash I am trying to avoid.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
