RE: Is it possible to be too close????
Definitely not a stupid question as we all get this type of opportunity at one time or another.
I've always been told to bend at the waist...just what you want to hear and try to remember at the moment of truth, huh? I do practice this type of close shot, but probably not as much as I should. Probably a good idea to let the deer get out away from your stand position as your odds will increase dramatically for that lethal double lung shot.
Sounds like you're in a good spot though!
