My favorite shooting range, 5-10min from the front door of my parents house.  One can shoot anywhere from 50 to 1000+ yards here.  COST 0.00......  priceless

A deer A tag is different, and more expensive.  with an A tag you can shoot either sex, either species.  then there are the various B tags.  you can get 3-7 deer in some places.  then the damage hunts start in december.

I am guessing 450.  I said it was 400, and dad thought it was 500.  I use a 200 yard zero on a 6mm  I aimed about 1-2 inches below the topline and hit 2-3 inches below midline.

do you do any fly fishing there?  It is my absolute favorite place to fish bigger water.  From below the dam to the bridge is great water.
