Also it doesn't matter to me if it's a Meat Doe or a Big Buck, I give em both the same respect they deserve
Totally agree Breechplug. I took a few stupid shots in my younger and brasher days. But I grew up and now don't take a shot unless I know I can make it. Usually a standing still deer. But never more than a slow walk.

I'm confortable out to 175 yards on a standing, relaxed deer with two or three of my scoped muzzleloaders if I have a good rest and perfect conditions. With iron sights or something like the scoped .54 round ball shooting Renegade my limit is closer to 100 yards. In the real world of pine woods/small food plot hunting, my longest shot on a deer in the last ten years with a muzzleloader was 88 yards. Passed a lot of longer shots on meat does, knowing I could get a closer shot tomorrow or next week.

i feel comfortable off hand out to 150
You're a better man than me MountainDevil. I would never attempt an off hand shot that far.
