Out west I've killed some animals at some distances in the wide open plains. Won't throw out any numbers as I really don't want the Ethics evanglists preaching to me.

Ehtical shots require consideration of a lot of variables, and only one is the distance. Many unethical shots are taken every year at less than 30 yards.

If I take a shot I have all the confidence in the world that arrow will find it's mark or Iwon't let it go.

X2! Thats what i was talking about in my post... Ive drawn back on many deer that are within easy range, but have thought taking the shot would be bad, so didnt do it.

i hit a buttonbuck last year in the neck at 33 yards, this year i will be confident to 45
Blew the 33 yd shot and you plan to shoot 12 yds further this year?

I am more impressed with threads about the closest shot taken.

As an aside I love your quote Austin:
"Respect is more than knowing where the deer's brains, guts, and heart are. It's acknowledging the fact he possess all three"
