We have a thread titled, Longest shot on a Deer. How about shortest? I killed one years ago at about 15 feet.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

About 5 yards. I shot him with a twelve gauge with buckshot. All 9 of them when through just behind the shoulder in a circle of about 5 inches.

my first buck (spike) was about 5 feet and later an 8pt that was 10-12 feet.

I've shot two standing at the bottom of a 10 foot ladder stand. 1 on the ground at about 15 feet.

Like many others I'd say 10-15 feet on a deer. Closest on elk was less than 3 steps with a muzzleloader on a big cow. She had singed hair from the burning powder on her side. I'd guess she was maybe 4 feet from the end of the muzzle.

25 yards...could have shot a few dumb young ones that wandered closer over the years.
But it seemed unsportsmanlike somehow to me in each instance so I let them walk.
Your own choices are up to you and I don't mean to judge your decisions based on mine, of course.

Probably 10 yards or so. Walked right up behind me in a climber. Stretched out the full potential of the .300 H&H Magnum 180gr Core-Lokt...

Sat down over looking a small bowl. Hadn't been there 10 minutes and I here a noise behind me. Im staring at him he at me. First shot knocked him down. Second put him down. I was almost twisted like a pretzel trying to shoot him as he was behind me and I still seated. First shot hit his horn.

I would tell about the 183” mule deer I shot at 38 yards, but the story would be wimpy compared to the others already posted…. Cheers

Shot a buck at a too close range, I could see his eyes at the moment of impact of a 150gn SP from my .308. Killed many deer, that was the first time a kill bothered me. All my shots since then have been longer, thank goodness.
