The farthest was a mule deer in Montana at just over 200 yards. But the most exciting, by far, was a blacktail I shot in Western Washington state at less then 10 feet with a 20 ga. shotgun shooting a slug. I just about wet myself on that one!

I pass on shots at game animals over 200 yards, the vast majority of my shots are less than a hundred yards.

Varmints, particularly Fox, I shoot out to around 350 yards and generally do pretty well, very few misses.

If I had a big magnum I'd try some varmint shots out to five hundred maybe.

Furthers was about 210, and it was not my best hit. He didn't go more than 50 yrds. But still, farther than anything else I have taken.

On a buck, just a little over 200. On a doe 385 yards.

Default I'm the exact opposite

I use to hunt ground hogs from fifty yards, with a muzzleloader. Hiding in the nearby brush was as important as shooting.
Swamp hunting for deer was a specialty. The trick was anchoring the deer with one shot.

One time one Buck one shot DRT 710 yards. Not a common practice taking long shots on game.
