20 feet with the old 12 gauge.  :IBCOOL:

About 5 yards with a 12 gauge full choke.  I was trying to call in a turkey when I heard somthing coming behind me.  I slowly turned my head to see a coyote running full tilt towards me.  I picked up the gun and fired...it left a pretty nasty looking hole in him at that distance.

A couple with hair on the muzzle. A few more close enough to still get powder burns.

About 6-8 feet with a Jennings J22 pocket pistol.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I did that same shot in reverse, little farther away, with a .300 Win. Mag.  Hit it at the base of the tail, ran the length of the spine and blew the skull off the lower jaw.  Looked like I ran it over with an industrial mower.

Belly crawling while jump shooting a duck pond -- I saw a yote about 20 yds and closing right towards me (he saw my buddy sneaking on the other side of the lake).  I froze and put my head down.  I peeked up when he was basically a couple feet or closer away.  He froze and I touched off.  3" high base duck loads flipped him, :chuckle:  Funny thing is, of all hundreds of yotes I've killed with a rifle (a lot of calling), the closest I've probably shot was 20 yds.

In a trap?  If that's the case, then I've killed several at mere inches away. :chuckle:

 :) not in a trap.  I followed him into a rock pile and got him trapped in a seam in the rocks...long story, but I ended up shooting him and he fell out of the bluff ~100 ft.

30 yards 30/06 all I saw in the scope was fur but then I said to myself is it really going to matter where I hit it with a 30/06  :chuckle:
I ended up hitting it where the lung heart area is or was :rolleyes:

10yds! Grouse hunting in open timber with 12ga. #7 to the side of his face pretty much rocked his world. (Then a couple of followup shots at closer range) Scraggly mut.  I think I woke him up from a nap on the opposite side of a bush.

About 10 feet hahaha, killed it with 7 1/2 shot and blew a hole on it the size of my fist. Long story short I ran up over these rocks I saw it walk over and it was standing there :chuckle:
