A couple of inches from my gun barrel. The first was with a 280. I saw it coming up the ridge towards me and was hoping it would head straight up to my nephew as it was his first year hunting deer. The buck did not go the way I wanted and when it got closer, I could see it had been in a nasty fight and had a massive eye infection. I let it walk right up to my gun barrel and shot. In the autopsy, it had a fractured skull too.
The other as just a couple of years ago. A 243 from maybe 3 yards. The TSX shed its petals but all went into its heart. Not much of a blood trail but I found it.
