Default Deer or Bigger, What Is Your "Closest To Home" Kill?

Since there is another thread circulating that covers how far from home, here's one for how close to home.... need something for everyone.


(1) What state?
(2) What distance from your house was the kill spot?
(3) What deer size game (or larger) that you killed?
(4) What weapon did you use?

Nebraska, back in my ranch days.
About 170 yards from the house.
Buck deer (gasp).
338WinMag.

1) in Iowa
2) 4 blocks from home
3) very large whitetail buck
4) Frito-Lay step van

Not sure how many points he was. By the time I got back to him some had cut off his antlers.
Several thousand $ damage to the truck.
One very upset boss.
