well fellas, i made two sets today, and both were successful...
first set i called in the whitest dog i've killed all year, just a pretty ol female,

using the ghillie to match our surroundings really helps when self filming!!!

Now, on to the mid range kill @ just over 500yds,

i called this little female in but she wouldn't cross the ice cold river to come to my set... her curiosity tired, and she trotted off onto a flat and started mousing around, so i hit the pup in distress and she laid down giving me plenty of time to get prone and find a shooting lane... she's out there, you just can't see her...

ahhh, yes, there she is!!!

even though she didn't have the balls to cross the frigid ice cold water, i wanted that fur, so i rolled up pants pulled the boots and waded across, once i got to the kill site i ranged back to my hide, and the rangefinder read just over 500

What is a hide?

The spot he called from. Sniper hide is the place a sniper hides and waits for his shot. Congrats on a great shot! Thanks for sharing the pics and info.

no, no... she was ranged before kill was taken (i didn't use my reticle to do so, and not having an accurate range @ this distance is almost always a guaranteed miss), i wasn't going to mess around and try to get HD video through the rangfinder and have her take off... but it will be shown on video once its all put together.

i use two... my LR rangefinder is the Vector IV unit, the one i usually carry in my pack for a mid range shots up to 800yds is the leupold RXB-IV (which is what you are seeing in the still shot).
