[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 223973, member: 412"] 2011, North Slope Brooks Range. I'd filled both of my Caribou tags days earlier. I'd been awakened at some point in the middle of the "night" (just got kinda dim, not really night) by wolves howling. Morning comes with some dense fog, we're brewing a little coffee, glance up and through the fog, there's a wolf, sitting on the riverbank. I was able to get to my rifle and shooting sticks without alerting him. With the fog, the LRF wouldn't work. I was sure I'd ranged the little bluff he was on @ 300yds a day or two earlier. I settled in nice and steady, he's facing me. I have the horizontal crosshair right on top of his head and the vertical splitting his nose. I squeeze for what seems like forever, trigger breaks, and the wolf trots off unharmed. The wolf was ~125yds as I was able to range the spot when the fog burned off, just looked a lot farther in the fog. It's yet another lesson that the 1st shot should always be @ the vitals if distance is unknown. [/QUOTE]
