Good One Bronco, I was thinking the same thing and going to post a thread about the same thing.
I like you have had a bunch of real colse shots. I hunt from the ground a-lot and have had many courious and unsuspecting deer come real close to me. I remember one close shot with my old CVA Staghorn Mag. I was standing next to a Big Oak Tree almost close to the one I had a Pic of not too long ago on the forum. Anway I was a stander on a drive and as soon as I got next to the tree here came 2 twin 5 Pointers right at me. As soon as they got next to the tree I was standing at they stopped about a foot from the tree. I slowly raised the MLer and did'nt even have to aim as the muzzle was just about a foot from the deer, I fired.
What I remember most about this is this was the first time I had a MLer that would handle a Magnum Charge of 150 grs, at the shot the deer was thrown about 5 feet into the tree next to the one I was standing by, it got up and ran 150 yds through the woods and left NO Blood Trail even though it was shot through the heart, I followed the scuffed leaves in the woods to find the deer.
The MLer was a CVA Stag Horn Mag with a 240gr XTP a 150gr's of Pyro Pellets and a Win W209 Primer, the scope was'nt needed.
One other time and this was with a Bow, agian I was walking through the woods and saw a deer comming, I hugged a tree. I saw it was a Buck and drew back, as the buck passed I though he was going to knock the arrow off the rest as he went by, I shot.....he piled up 30yds away. I can go on and on as I have had way more shots from 0-15 yds then any other with bow and mler. Im more of a close shot than a long shot hunter as most of all my shots with a bow are 20yds and under and with a MLer are 50yds and under.
