Our lease is very open so you can shoot as far as you are comfortable. I have buddy that has made multiple shots over 600yds. He's a freak with his abolt 280. My personal longest is a doe at 325yds.
If your decoy doesnt have holes in it, your not letting him get close enough... J.H.

My longest was a ranged 405yds with a Remington sendaro in 25-06 while filling doe tags in a cutover/cedar flat. I think it's rare to have anywhere in Alabama you can shoot over 300 yards on most properties though. Maybe a pasture?
It's important to practice long shots before attempting them on game (except maybe groundhogs) we use a 4x8 sheet of plywood painted white then place the targets in the middle at 350 yards to practice.

Dang shaw and bowtechdan y'all can shoot. Hunt mostly in the woods so never really had a chance to shoot far before i started bow hunting only. 275 yards is the farthest i have shot at an animal, doe. It was a miss, i was told no farther than 150 by my buddy, he was way off. 120 is the farthest i have made on a doe with a .30-06. Farthest with a bow is 30 yards. I like to get them in close

Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.
I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.
