Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Shortest shot on a deer?

This buck was the third one I had shot and was at 5-6 yards. Spotted him earlier and cranked up the scope to 9x then got out ahead of him in the pickup. Was working along an overgrown creek bank when he moved into a small opening. Raised my gun up and only saw a patch of fur but I felt that I was on his shoulder so I fired. 30-06 with a 165 grain Corelock and the whole right shoulder came off with the hide when I peeled him.
