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

Had not thought about it, but it just occurred to me....





A while back. I was sitting in a 4' x 4' box blind. It was early of a morning just a few minutes after first shooting light. We hunt over spin-cast feeders. At this location at that time I had a spin-cast feeder set up about 160 yds distance across a stream-bed and beyond some Cedars. Had a sight picture through an opening in the scrum.
Elevation/ eye height was +/- 15'.

For some reason I looked down and this buck was less than 10 yd. away, nibbling on forbes. I nailed him with this 35 Whelen.

Ya!
