RE: my closest shot ever
15 feet. I had drove my 4 wheeler right up to the stand, stepped from the seat onto the ladder to my stand. Had put doe in heat on side of motor before driving thru sage grass to the stand. The deer followed the scent right to the 4 wheeler. Sniffed all around it, I didn't know if he was gonna ride it out or what??? Finally moved a little where I could shoot without hitting the 4 wheeler. Looking straight down, I could see he was a button buck, and legal in that year. Had trouble looking thru the scope, couldn't see anything but hair, managed to put it in the boiler room.
