Back in the 80's, I was hunting out of a strap on tree stand. It was only about six feet up the tree, I don't like heights. I was sitting. A buck walked directly under the stand. When the head and neck came out from under the stand, I pointed the rifle, like a handgun, down at base of the neck. The end of the barrel couldn't have been 4 feet from the deer. Just for the record, I had on a solid blaze orange coat and ball cap and gloves that were blaze on the top.
I've shot several at 10 or 15 feet when I was sitting on the ground.
