Personal best??
 

I was just wondering what you longest sucessful shot is? Or any great shot in harsh condition, etc. please include following : gun used, animal killed, distance, bullet weight. Any additional info would be great!
:D

Longest shot :
365 yards, whitetail buck, 130 gr rem. core-lokt, Savage model 110 .270 win. dropped in his tracks. However, I don't like to call that my "best" because long shots are risky, unless you've put in your time at the range. I'd rather have a 40 yard shot. this deer was just too much to resist, and I felt comfortable enough in my abilities to make a shot like this.

Longest shot on a whitetail buck (6 pointer) was 367 yards with a 100 gr rem express corelokt from a savage 270.

Well since i live in ohio i cant hunt with a rifle, if i could i probably hit a deer in the open at 500yds, thats what we had to qualify at boot camp for the marines and that was with a m16 with no scope just the sights. That target was the same size as the vitals on a mature deer. However the longest shot i had with a bow was at 50yds, ive had many long shots that ive felt comfortable with but that shot sticks out like a sore thumb, it was my second nicest buck he came in this feild pushing around 8-10 does right in front of me and he stopped broadside in this field and the does where getting spooky,because i was on the ground with my bow, i drew back and let the arrow fly, it was the best shot at that distance ive ever made.

It was last fall on my first mule deer. About 30 minutes before dark, I went out with some folks from Montana who were elk hunting. My rifle and gear was back at the hotel but one of the guys said he had a rifle I could use. They dropped me off, I caught up to a group of deer, crawled up and took aim at about 300 yards, and fired once. I hit him just behind the front shoulder and right in the bread basket. I was proud that I had taken my time to get a good rest and the shot turned out as I'd hoped. I'm not saying there was much skill involved as I've never taken a shot much over 100 yards as we just don't get those in northern Minnesota and although I did some practicing at longer distances, I was using someone else's rifle. It was the last hour of the last day so I was pretty tickled...

Year before last, whitetail at 304 yards measured with a laser range finder. 7mm mag reloads, 140 grain nosler ballistic tip. Deer went 10 yards and gave it up.

well ive never had a shot over 150 yards[>:] but i have done one awesome shooting job while deer hunting with my 870 20ga.

well i saw a doe walk up pretty close under me then a buck came....i wanted them both so bad.

so what i did was : first i shot the buck then in a split second i shot the doe. i shot one then the other 5 times. without missing once, in fact they were all in the kill zone:) they were running as i shot them too. they didnt go any farther than 30 yards. that is one of my proudest hunting accomplishments:)

My last deer was shot with a M/L at 60 yds. My longest to date (I have been hunting for many dates) .I have never shot a deer at more than 35 yds before that. Most at 20-25 yds.
