Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Your Longest Shot On A Deer

Western Adirondacks, 46 yrs, all shots within 10-100 yards.

Mule Deer....about 300 yards, Antelope (similar to a Whitetail in size) ...430 yards. 56 years hunting big game. memtb

WT, 465 yrds, 7 Wby Mag, 175 Sierra SBT. That day I had a new found respect for a Magnum cartridge.

Right at 100 yds for me. WT buck.

That's a hellova poke for the country you're hunting in!!

Never to my knowledge seen a whitetail. But if you count blacktail, I donged one once at 170 or so, with a dead rest. Everything else 70 or 80 yards mostly. I've put the crosshairs on some across the canyon, 400 to 600, but the bouncing wobbling crosshair was a brutal dose of reality, so I never pulled the trigger.

Right around 700 on a coues with my 28 nosler. No problem.

65 years of hunting. Longest was a wounded WT doe at 340 yards. Otherwise, only a handful beyond 250. BC of around .4 is plenty for me.

435 yds on a trophy Mule deer. Most others were 35-100 yds.

238 yards - that's what the Leica Geovids told me anyways.

since 1965...all under 100 yds. don't know the exact range on any. eastern woods hunting.

I think this was the furthest Whitetail.

On a WT, 70 or 80 yards. Mule deer 165 yards or so. I’ve been seriously hunting about 30 years. Longest shot on elk 308 yards, several coyotes out to 360 +/-. I’m usually not a long range shooter but I have the hardware for it. Happy Trails

Whitetails?? About 160 yds. Haven't killed many. I prefer to hunt Muleys.

Whitetail? 250 yds.

3-point whitetail buck 887 yds

White tail at 300 yards when I was 17 in 1980 using my dad's Remington 742 30-06. Scope hit me in the nose- my dad had to tell me I hit it!

Black tail doe 302 yards with open sight model 94 Big Bore 375. 1 shot for range 2nd shot went through the skin on her throat, 3rd shot into her right eye.
that was in 1981 and i had been hunting since 1959. most everything since has been 50 to 100 yards.

599 yards blacktail doe 7 years of hunting deer with a 30-378 weatherby a Leupold CDS scope

I shot two WT doe 6around 400 yards with a 6mm Remington. That was a once in a lifetime deal. Most I have killed within 50 yards, and a couple of three out over 100 yards. I killed a big ol' bore out at 320 yards shot in the right front shoulder. He ran 15-20 yards and expired grave yard DRT dead.
