    I followed this video to the exact and got the achievement in my first try. The level will be Nambia day 1, hunt 3(zebra). Right after you make your kill in hunt 2, go view the zebra tracks. Now walk back to the tree stand you used in hunt 2. Using your long rifle take a look at the zebra, now just walk backwards till it read 280 yards. You will not be able to see the zebra, and if you miss, the zebra will not move, allowing you to continue shooting till you hit it. Fortunately I got a spine hit on my first shot!

    Full credit to bulliztic for finding this and Sawyer6903 for posting this on x360a.org. It works like a charm!

    Hunt is Mexico Day 3, Hunt 2. Use the 250 point blind, shoot close to the target to make it flee, then take down after it hits 280 yards. Must be done in one shot. Description is kind of confusing, but just means it has to be a one hit kill. Also, target is usually at 280 yards after passing the cacti on the right. Shoot a few meters ahead of the deer for a clean kill.

    This is story mode, Namibia, Day 1, Hunt 3 I had to stand behind the farthest blind (you can't acess the blind) go across the little road and put your back against the wall. Now aiming from this distance is tough. You will have to put your cross hairs on the white dot showing the trophy now line the white dot with the bottom line of cross hair and slowly move your aim up eventually you will see the stats on the zebra. Now hold LB to hold breathe and take the shot. You may have to shoot again if the first one missed. Please not you need your rifle fully upgraded to work as you need 20x scope. here is a video that I found that helped a lot.
