Longest kill shot on deer?

[danceswitharrows]

The sitution was just not working out to my advantage so I had to take the shot longer than what I would have liked...45yards twice as long as most of my shots.  Weapon shot a 420 grain easton axis, it was a one shot kill

A 500 plus yard shot at a trotting broadside deer, offhand, no rest.  Put two in him in the boiling room about 1 inch apart.  Thinking back I'd critisize anyone who were to try that shot.  

Hey!  Finally someone who admits to a little hypocrasy at times.(Juuuuuust messing with ya )  I've witnessed a shot over 600 yards at an elk.  Also know a guy who with a 378-338 dropped an elk with a 6x20 scope at close to a thousand yards.

Nope, its a true statement.  VERY VERY VERY few are capable of making that shot.  I was lucky, and an animal didn't have to suffer for it.  I'm a damn good shot, and I practice more than most, and I have th efortune to have killed enough big game animals I rarely get excited until its done.  That being said, I should have let him walk, and I should have found a bigger deer and killed him instead at 150 yards.     Idabooner would have appreciated the extra time in camp. Nothing bad came from it, but I am wiser now and know better.

My longest Blacktail was 527 with a Savage .30-06 150gr hand load, Quick Draw is my witness, and my longest Mule Deer was 564 with my .240 Weatherby Mag. 100gr hand loads.

Hey Bone, that's pretty impressive.  What cartridge/rifle did you make that shot with?

[boneaddict]

I believe it was the 25-06 117gr Nozler handloads.  The 117s are now 120's.  They shoot about the same.  There is a slight possibility it was the 30-06 with 150 grain Hornadys but I think it was the 25.  I'd ahve to gander at an old photo to tell for sure.

Offhand and moving at that distance I would have been lucky just to hit it twice.

[boneaddict]

I took a pic from where I was standing and where the buck was.   He then commenced into a roll down the hill and practically landed at my feet.  Broke and scraped his antlers all the heck.  I'd post, but then approx 2,000 people would know where I might hunt next year.

368 yds on a spike BT.... Last day of late buck 20 min before shooting time was over.... With my trusty 243... 100 gr Hornady Light Mags... One shot quartering away on a ridge over.. Even exited in front of off shoulder.. I've shot song dogs @ 600 plus with it... But would never shoot big game over what I did on that shot... Hell  thought it was more like 300 yds when I sqeezed off.... Then ranged it with the Nikon 800.... And 

[NWBREW]

Longest shot for me was about 270 yards (rifle of course). All in all the last 4 out of five bucks I shot with my rifle were all less than 35 yards (whitetails in the rut). I did miss one that I thought was about 340 yards away (no rangefinder)....ranged it the next day and it turned out to be 428 yards away. The next year Saw a big buck that I estimated to be somewhere around 390 to 410 yards away (same area as the previous years miss).....did not take the shot. I watched him just stand there for about 20 min. Tried to call him closer...no luck.....let him walk away. I felt I needed a better closer shot....still no regrets.
