It’s kind of like telling a professional athlete, “doing a backflip on a motorcycle is extremely dangerous and you can die!” That statement is true! If you’re doing it on an old worn out bike with no experience or training. But for some guys, they’ve been flipping bikes since they were young kids. Let’s just all stay in our lanes here, if you can’t shoot 1,000 yards. Dont. If you can do it ethically with precision, your opportunity list just got bigger. Congrats to Treavor on the buck and the shot. Incredible work. That is an awesome blacktail.

I agree 1000% (see what I did there?) I think that taking the shot at the rock to gauge distance and holdover was a really good idea too

@Intermtn9736

Big difference that the person that gets hurt is the animal, not you in this case. Also, total lie anyone is capable of first round certainty at that range. 1mph wrong wind call = 6-9” off w/ 6.5 creed (most PRS guys can’t tell less than 2-3 diff). 1/2 MOA gun still has 5.5” group. A SD of under 10 is 3-4” of stringing minimum. Many many more factors and that’s already 16”+ of uncontrollable variability. What I’m trying to show to you is there is not way anyone is even 50%+ confident where that shot was going. Ok on a target, so so wrong in hunting, much less filming and showing the world (to support your rifle sponsorship BTW). We need to call this stuff out

It looked very ethical for you to take the shot. You have had the training. I couldn't do it. I say, congratulations to you!

Everyone on here trashing this shot is what’s wrong with the hunting community. Just because you don’t do what others do, doesn’t make it unethical. It takes a lot of work off camera to do what Trevor did and a ton of trust in his equipment. We need to stop pushing each other down in the hunting community.

Sweet buck Trevor and what an awesome shot. I can really appreciate y’all taking the time and chance to take a practice shot at close to that same distance to get the windage right. As someone who has only shot out to and killed a whitetail at 350 yards I can imagine the amount of practice and preparation it took to make that shot. And yes drop tines are cool as can be. I killed the only whitetail I have ever seen on the hoof in Missouri in 2022. Awesome buck again Trevor. Thank yall for taking a south Louisiana boy into the blacktail mountains with y’all this week. Can’t wait till the next video is dropped. As always good luck and god bless

Beautiful buck, Trevor

Good Job Treavor!!!!!

My dad has a blacktail that scored like 163 or something like that. What a great buck

Great Shot! I shot my buck at 1,080 yds in Wa this year. Ethical is a subjective thing, if you don’t practice past 1000yds and don’t have spotters then don’t shoot. It’s pretty simple. Theres so much work and practice off camera that the haters don’t recognize.

Awesome shot keep up the great videos

Great shot Trevor. That’s a great buck . I shot my once in a lifetime buck few years ago. It scored 138 3/4 . It was a 4 by 5 bonne and Crockett said a 6 by 6 because it had double eye guards . But congratulations on that beautiful buck

Great hunt, great shot!!! Hunting is how you get it done. Whether it's a thousand yard poke or twenty yards over bait. We all get to decide how we do it and what our limitations are. The ethics aren't one size fits all. To push beyond your limits outside of your ability is unethical.

Not every one is capable of a shot like this but you did a hell of a good job

Cool buck!

What distance was your Sig Cross zeroed at? Also, were you shooting the Hornady Precision Hunter 200grain (based on the box seen in video)? Or were you using reloads?

Wow, unreal Treav! With that rifle, the optics, all the training to shoot long distance and even a practice shot , that's way more ethical of a shot than most, well done . The BRO crew rocks!!

What suppressor are you guys running on that Sig?

Wow, a lot of haters. I haven't shot anything over 200 but props to Trevor for building the skill to do it!

Awesome buck, but he does look young (like you said). I'm not great with blacktail but I think he's a 3-yr old deer? Imagine what he would have been at 5-6 yrs old!! Not sure how far blacktail travel, but if they are somewhat territorial I think I would have passed and hoped to find him in the future. It sounds like the original buck you were stalking was much bigger.

You said Jeff Dunn did he happen to be in the military between 89 and Navy specific?

What suppressor are you running on your gun?

Great shot Treavor. What did he score?. Looks close to breaking 100

What 300. Win. Mag maintains minimum velocities for bullet expansion at 1130 yds?

Great buck man. And a great shot. These internet karens talking trash wouldnt stand a chance hunting any kind of big game in oregon. Haters gonna hate. And thyas whats wrong eith this world. Congratulations on such a sweet buck and hunt

When I look at whether or not a shot is ethical, I consider two things 1. Will I be able to make the shot? 2. Will my bullet have enough energy and force to take the animal?. Clearly watching the video Trevor made the shot and the buck was done after one shot. He recovered the meat with 1 shot, so clearly it is an ethical shot.

That was your b&c blacktail but you shot em a season early…. Either way great buck

Missing the old Born and Raised.........

Then don’t watch. He said the biggest reason he put his bow down was the mechanics of long range precision shooting. I don’t have the time to do that and to go full send into a 1k+ yd rifle. Just bc I can’t do it doesn’t mean someone else shouldn’t. Most people - I’d say 90% of them - watch this video and go “whoah - I couldn’t do that, so I wouldn’t”. 5% of folks will watch this and try to emulate what Treavor did - get into long range shooting, and then go do this. The last 5% will try this and miss. So still plenty of deer left on the hillside.

Agree to disagree with you, hunt trap fish. I am absolutely tired of people saying there is no big bucks anymore. It is because they can snipe them from 1000 yds away. If he dropped in to hunt that deer there is a high likelihood he would not kill it. From watching Trevor on all the born and raised films I know he can hunt. I’m just saying give the query your hunting for a chance and hunt it. Not just shoot it. Again it does take skill to shoot that far I just think it is for the range and not the hunt. I find at least one deer a year pushing that 180+ mark, but being able to kill it is another story. I’m just saying hunt them not snipe them. Not a cheap shot just my opinion.

But as much as taking a practice shot helps to know where the shot will land, it still doesn't guarantee that during the flight time of the bullet, the deer doesn't move. The flight time alone is what makes me say that such long shots don't have a place in a hunting situation. During the flight time of that bullet there was plenty of time for the buck to move in a way that would cause a bad hit.

If he would have done as animals often do and moved his head back to lick at his side it could of been a much different story, with a deer shot in the mouth getting away. Not as likely when the deer is laying down? Sure, but it is still a chance that wouldn't be near as possible at a closer range. As hunters it is our job to make sure that we make as clean of a kill as possible. Myself as well as 99% of hunters have had things go bad at much closer ranges, the chances of something bad happening are much greater at long range.

Jesus boys just get a little Closer. You know you can.

Its only unethical if you cant confidently make the shot hitting lungs at 1k is ethical

IMHO I don’t agree with long range hunting (shooting). It is a skill that is really impressive to get efficient with, however…… Part of the reason why there are not as many big animals are because you don’t have to actually hunt them any more. You just shoot them from across the canyon. Is it legal? Yes it is. However it doesn’t make it right in my opinion. It most surely takes skill however to shoot that far. But that is a main reason for lack of trophy animals in some areas!
