[longrange7mm]

we were walking down a canal and a lil 4x4 was standing in the cattails in the canal we didnt see him tell we were less than 5 yds and he thought he was hiding when my friend shot it left powder marks on his side! jokes but it was close enough we could smell him

We moved from Kentucky to Oregon when I was 18, I had only hunted with a shotgun / slug. I read about hunting out west & bought a Winchester model 70 in 270 cal. I sighted  in my 3x9 scope for dead on 200 yards and could hold good out to 300 yards. Well needless to say I shot a 3x3 blacktail @ 20 yards that first year in Oregon. I was glassing 300 yards away to the other side of the clearcut & he stood up a stones throw away. Mike

My closest shot with a rifle was in Michigan with a Marlin 336 30-30 my grandfather gave to me on my 14th birthday. I was in college with my brother and we went up to visit the grandparents and stayed with them for a long weekend during deer season. It was a whitetail doe walking down a trail when she finally turned broadside right around 9 or 10 yards. She dropped right there!

That day happened to be a great day because it was my second deer that day and that night I won $400 at the slots.    My brother was pissed! He got skunked that trip.

i shot my third buck at about 15 yards came running by and when i threw up my scope was on 9 power  let just say there was hair in my scope made a great shot threw the lungs out the other shoulder and he went about 10 yards before dropping

shot my late buck a few years ago at 10 yds with the 300 rum.

My dad shot one at 20 yards. He was just over this finger ridge from me. I couldnt see him. I heard the shot than looked up to see a 3x2 bounding directly at me. He did a digger into a log about 5 yards from me. His 3 point side buried in the dirt. I hovered over him while he took a few dying breaths. Then pulled his antlers out and was relieved to see that third point!

Wish I still had it. The 2009 year I bought my Elk, Deer, Bear, Cougar permit and ended up only getting out once to hunt for bear! Work was busy and things were tight. It was my first year hunting here in WA.

I'll be sure to get out more this year!

Mine was this last year, a mule deer in Winthrop came charging up out of the timber and stopped right in front me and about 20 yards, BOOM! done. My dad likes to talk about the blacktails that he used to shoot. He had a tree stand on a buddies property, the only problem was the deer came right under the tree instead out from it so most of his shots were straight down into the top of the deers heads! I think he said he was only about 10 feet up.

This one made me think..  I believe mine was about 72 yards.  Fork horned blackie..  The buck I'm most proud of.  Worked the hardest to find him.
