RE: Bowhunters hunting
The first deer I ever shot, a buck, I killed from 1-2 yards...almost straight down(bad bad decision on my part). I've killed several other deer at 10 yards or less which makes me very happy as compared to long range shots.

RE: Bowhunters hunting
7 yards on a doe (from the ground) and a buck at 8 yards.

RE: Bowhunters hunting
The Buck I killed this year was at 10 yards, 2 other deer in the past I have killed at about 12 yards. I also killed a Doe with the shotgun from 12 feet away 2 years ago!

RE: Bowhunters hunting
ORIGINAL: HNI_Christine Deer, 3 yards. I once tried a finishing shot on a woodchuck. I walked up to the angry but mostly immobile critter, drew my bow and shot down at him from about a foot away. It was summer. I was wearing a lightweight t-shirt. My bow was 44" axle to axle. ....I just about gave myself a field masectomy. Dang that hurt. I had the most awesome bruise that I couldn't show anyone. [:-] Holy smokes!! [:-] That brought a tear to my eye! I've been around archery for quite a while and have witnessed this occurrence a couple of times. Usually it happens to women that are relatively new to archery and hopefully it is a lifetime learning experience! :D Ya gotta feel bad for them when it happens. Anyway, I've shot deer at 3 or 4 yards before. |

My first archery doe was 8 feet from the base of my tree. I was 14 feet up in the air. Whatever the math on that is [8D]
