I've killed exactly 2 whitetails over 300 yards and one over 400 in 45 years of hunting and over 200 deer killed. Last season I took a piebald doe at 270 yards and that was by far my longest shot in the last 25 years. I killed 5 other deer last season and all were inside 65 yards with the closest at 17 yards. Most of my hunting is done in the timber and by far most of my kills have been between 10 and 80 yards.
