I've shot deer from 11yds ON THE GROUND with my bow, and from 34yds. Everything else was in between.

sandilands 09-20-2008 09:51 PM

RE: just how close and how far have you killed a deer
 
bow- 10yds - 22 yds
ML - 25yds to 50 yds
gun - 15yds to 290ish.... all but one shot was within 100yds.

I didn't mL/gun hunt last yr. Just bow. If I do hunt with either this yr it will be short. AS I have 2 new pices of private property that is bow only. I know its good land so will stick to the bow.

Bear - 18yds- Bow is the only way to do it.

Bow- 13 yards closest, and 45 yards furthest.
Rifle- 20 yards closest, and 520 yards furthest at a SD 4x4 mulie on public land. I love my bow, but I love my .300 win mag too.

RE: just how close and how far have you killed a deer
 
Archery only-I killed a 6 point Buck on the ground-he ran up to me (spooked by another hunter) & stopped next to me-arrow barly left the bow when it went through him at maybe SIX FEET. taken several under my stand at 7-10 feet.
Longest-a Buck at 55 yds. These were taken with recurves.
95% of my shots are 10-20 yds.
