By the time I grabbed my camera they had moved out of the firing area

They know the season dates. Come November, you'll never see them.

So true jagee, so true.
I have pictures of them right outside our big cabin window in Kalkaska Michigan.
Come November, nothing!

One year at camp atterbury, we shot a 1,000 yard match with several deer grazing down by the targets

A number of years ago, @Cameramonkey and I were out at Proteq. We had to call cold range, as we had a deer run across the range. Another time out there we had a pair of hawks riding the thermals above the range for most of our afternoon there.

We had a big old snapping turtle the size of a trash can lid come crawling down the backstop one time in the middle of a shoot. Had to call cold range and move him so we could continue. The barrage of gunfire didn't bother him at all.

Fort Carson about 1991 we were shooting.50 BMG M2 off tripods for qualification. Four deer ran across the range at about the 800 yard mark right in front of the targets.

Not one was hit! I watched a tracer go under a deer‘s belly. They were blessed.

(Mt. Men) Exactly!

Wore my copy out…,I wish that that movie had been re-released on the big screen, the mountains would look awesome…( I missed the original theatrical release)

 

[Noble Sniper]

Got it on dvd…. Good flick!!!

Just a couple of years ago I was at the Farmland CC shooting at the 300 yard range when I noticed some knucklehead had left a buck silhouette on TOP of the berm. I remember thinking to myself how unsafe it was as I walked up to check my target. Then I noticed he'd moved. There were two of them!

The only part of my military career that I enjoyed was the short time I spent at FT. Carson.

Common to have a flock of turkey's attempt a range crossing at my place.

All we have at the range I used to go to is DNR wanting too much personal information now lol
