Default abianca99, tells us about your 1 yard shot!

The title says it all!

Well, I guess I'd enjoy any 1 yard shot stories.

I don't recall off hand any 1 yard shots, but I have taken several deer at 3 to 4 yards including a 150" Whitetail and a 141" Mulie.

To me those are the hardest shots to make!!

My first deer I ever shot was a 1 1/2 year old doe. I was sitting by an old tree stump and I heard something walking towards me. I slowly turned and saw it was a doe. This may sound crazy but here is what happened. I knew i couldn't move slow, so I jumped up as fast as I could turned and pointed my 12 guage at her and shot from the hip. She was only like 5 feet from me. I hit her right in the neck and dropprd her on the spot. It was awesome. Most peoople just laugh when I tell that story but it is the truth.

i shot my second ever spring gobbler (jake) at 7 feet...to say my britches were filled when he gobbled is an understatement

Didn't happen to me, but it happened to my Pop. A doe walked up to his ground blind and started eating the fresh cedar branches he had put there for cover. As the story goes he couldn't see her because of the blind, and shot through the blind and dropped her.

I'm hoping for something like this to happen to me when I pursue a deer from the ground! I have shot them point blank directly under me from a tree that's about as close as it gets out of a stand
