I go after them in MD, PA and WV. My longest shot this year 315 yds. I use a .22-.250 Rem. heavy barrel bolt action with my handloads.
Shot quite a few with my 30 HerrettI'm mostly a handgun hunter. Combine that with the heavy growth, not many wide open places to hunt them, long distance around here is around 100 yds.
But throw in the handgun feature, and it really can be a challenge.
Years ago, when I lived up in rural Canada we shot hundreds and hundreds of them with every caliber imaginable. My fav was an early Ruger No. 1 heavy barrel in 22-250 wearing a Leupold 6-18. We could take shots as far as we could see - 500 and 600+ just to see if we could do it. (Used binocs to find them). We didn't get many at that distance but when you did it was awesome with huge bragging rights. The local farmers loved us!
