RE: Shortest Shot
Twice I killed deer at 10 steps. One time I was going to my stand and a 8 point came running towards me that was probably jumped by someone else going to their stand. The other I was on a logging road and was standing by a tree and a 7 point wanted to cross, it stuck his head out and I was ready, when he took the next step I put the whole thing in his shoulder. Surprisingly this deer went almost 150 yards with his heart in pieces.

I've been eye to eye with a deer! Less than a foot!! Sitting against a tree, here something behind me, peak around the tree, and there he was. I don't know who was more scared, me or the deer!! I didn't even get a shot off!! LOL

6 feet, it was a 6 point w/ a 16 in spread and my first buck, 12 gauge slug. I was walking up a raod from our river bottoms and he was bedded down in the brush on the lowerside of the road. The wind was in my favor and he was watching a cyotee run across the field.

RE: Shortest Shot
Point Blank! While walking through an abandoned barn we spooked a deer that had been shot and bedded down in the corral. We cornered her with me standing in the door way she ran directly at me and jumped and I shot her flipping her and she eventually got up and ran into a creek. She was running off adrenaline because I shot her twice in a vital area and she would not die, didn't have my handgun so we had to club her over the head with a log. Sick!!!

RE: Shortest Shot
Closest shot was about 15-20ftout when Ishot on the Buck I took last year with my 12 gauge (I was up in a stand, so make that about 15-20 foot height too) I had a small doe walk about 5 steps away from me once when I was sitting against a tree. I could have clubbed the stupid thing with the end of my shotgun if I wanted. My brother-in-law had one just the other side of a tree from him yesterday, another small doe, He said he seriously considered reaching over to give it a pet on the back.
