( I know , I know, don't say anything) anyway we found a field with about 60 deer but they were pretty far away. I go around to the other side and try to sneak up on them . I scared most of them off but one big doe was standing staring at me and only about 60 yards away.
I figure that's an ethical shot. 
she stands there perfectly broadside just staring while everything else is fleeing to the hills. I take aim and squeeze the trigger. Click. Nothing try again.Click nothing . Darn I thought. She is Still standing and staring At me. I fish in all my pockets looking for my reloads.I finally found them and I broke the gun open and to my surprise. No primer. talk about dumb. I get a primer in but to late . Oh well, can't win them all. I can't believe I forgot to put a primer in.
That depends on how proficient you are at that distance. But, beings you want to make it an agrument. In the other thread there was more than me with the same comment but, you seemed to take offense to my statement.
So, Evidently you know, you are making those kinda shots or you would not be so bothered about a comment by a stranger on the internet. But, hey good luck tomorrow and may your shot be true!!
Distance does not matter to me as long as it is a practiced distance that you can make a good shot and not send an animal off with a lame leg or gut shot and you not find it.
