Theres an awful lot of conversation these days about long range shooting on big game. I'd like to have folks share their closest gun kill distance. We all know bowhunters need to be close, so this thread is about gun hunters.

I took a black bear at 7 yards with an 8" Dan Wesson 44 magnum revolver. That was as cool as my previous close encounter of a white tail doe at 15 feet as she walked down a trail.

Let the stories begin...
