15-25 yds. box stand with a shotgun. The next year I had a little doe com up to within 5 ft. of where I was sitting on the ground. I had to keep lookin away from her because i was gonna start laughing from the quizzical expression on her face.

This guy was about 5 yards from my blind. Nice little 8-point, but too young, so I shot him with my camera... There's a doe on the ground behind him. She was about10 yards away when I popped her under the ear with my .30-06.

About 10 ft away. A buck had been jumped up by another hunter and ran towards where I was sitting undera tree. By the time I could get my .50 cal up and off safety he was already right on me. I hit him where his neck met his body and he flipped over right in front of me. I could touch him with the tip of my gun without even getting up.
