5 yards on a whitetail buck. But a couple times I have had deer close enough to actually touch but didn't take a shot.

It is generally thick woods where we hunt. My longest shot was 70 yards down a hollow that was narrow but fairly open. This is a long shot in these woods.

In the Allegheny National Forest there is more old woods and shots can be longer but still a lot of bush in between.

That doesn't mean you can't set yourself up for a long shot on a power line, cut field, etc. But I prefer the bush.

MAGA!
