Farthest shot you have ever made and killed a deer

Me personally I’ve never had to shoot past 200 yards, never even been in a place where I could shoot further than 200 yards. I’m curious to here about some of you snipers on here.

I killed a big old cowhorn at like 150 yards with a 270. I am like u most shots are like 75 or less

373 ranged and 350 ranged. Never shot at anything farther. I’ve killed several from 300-330 but I’ll be the first to tell you, although I’ve done it, that’s no chip shot. Gotta have a good rest, calm nerves and know your distance.

366 yards, missed him 4 times starting at about 225, pure luck on the last shot but I’ve killed 4 between 300-330 outta the same stand on a power line that dropped in there tracks. Shot a coyote last year at 335 yards

276 is the farthest for me.

Laser ranged 380; longest I have attempted. 257Wby Mag.

Mine is 415. My son at 16 got one at 465.
We have a powerline that you can shoot as far as you want to on it. I have my 7mag dialled in for that specific spot. I don't hunt with it anywhere else on the property. Shooting house with solid rest out the window and bipod shooting sticks for the rear area of the stock.

Not a deer, but last fall I shot/killed an elk at 440 yards in CO.

Not that far - a few around 150 yards w 270

I have killed 3 buck and 6 doe w bow - longest bow shot around 55 yard but all but one of those bow kills was inside 30 so only 1 long shot w bow

Muzzleloader - killed around 6-7 deer and all around 45 to 50 yards or less

Farthest on a deer was 382(via handheld gps). Longest confirmed kill was a hog at 522.

Only about 130 yards for me but spotted a buddy who shot one at 565 yards with a Weatherby 338-378 I believe. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but he practices at 600 a lot too.

Shot a spike at 355 with a 270. That's the only one that far. Been several from 200-275

425 yards, BAR 30-06 with 4X scope , propped on top of a fence post.

418 yds in Texas with a weatherby 300. 12pt 156”

I shot a couple across a 40, climber on one tree line deer on other. 35 years ago. I don’t remember how close the deer were to the trees, but fairly. So probably 400 ish.

I’ve got a couple in the 250 range but that’s an anomaly and definitely not in my comfort zone.

Not in Alabama but 378 ranged

112ish

Farthest shot for me was last year at about 200 yards. Most of the places I hunt 100 yards is about the farthest I would have to shoot.

294 yards

520 yds
300 RUM

Pushing 400 with a 260rem

1082 yards
7mm STW

👍😳

230 yards. My first decent buck.

212 yards for my son.

368 but I missed him the first 3 times. Missed a pile on power lines underestimating yardage as well

425 and 375 with a Remington 742 and a $100 scope. One dropped like a sack of taters, had to shoot one twice. Normal shot in my shooting house is about 200yds. I like to stay back so i dont get busted.

Not the farthest but the one I’m most proud of. 305yds ranged at the far end of a clear cut. Coyote popped up and ran a bunch of deer off. I held over about 2’ with a 30-06. Dropped it like a sack of potatoes and hit him right at the base of his neck with him facing me. My old avatar was a b&w picture of him where he dropped.

I've killed a couple 250-270....I did miss up and shoot at one 2 years ago that was a lot farther than I thought and hit it, was around 400 yards facing me I clipped its shoulder aiming at his nose....won't do that again but he did live according to cam pics...my most impressive kills are coyotes, working on farmland gives me opportunities to fire off rounds and hope for the best n I've killed several over 250

113 yards on a B&C 8 Point, with a trad bow, as he was running through a pine plantation.

I've killed two at 420-425 yards. At least half a duzen more between 300-350.

For the first 25 years I hunted i only killed two deer over 100 yards, one at 150 the other at around 180 yards. Almost all of the deer I killed were 50 yards or less. Only been in the last 10 years that I've had the opportunity to shoot deer at longer distance.

I killed this buck with a 243 @ 246 yards. My first ever racked buck, and I’m as proud of him as any that I’ve killed.

Danm ammo wasn't so high I'd had my ruger m77 7mag rechambered years ago

625 yards, Greene Co prairie land. Rem 700 270Win, 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tip

Killed a nice 8 point at 550 yards on the old Muslim Place, Greene Co, same gun and load. Several more at 400-425.

I’ve killed a few from 350- 400 yards.

This will be about my longest. Zoom in and you can see the shooting house up on the skyline is where I shot from and dropped this deer in his tracks[img]https://imgur.com/a/rEAIxm9[/img]

311 yards on a deer.

Mine would only be about 150 yds, most of the places I hunt are in big timber and not many open fields, I have missed some hogs on a large field at about 300 yds....lol

Holy smokes if this is true I've gotta hear more about it! Gun setup? Rest? Setting? Was it hold high send a prayer and send it or do you have long range experience

500 yards on a doe bedded on a hillside. Used the hood of my buddy's old IH scout for a rest. Gun was an old Enfield 30-06 my dad had converted to a sporter topped with a Bushnell scope with the BDC. What do ya know it worked..... I was a kid in high school and didn't know that I shouldn't take that shot. A couple of years ago I shot an old 6 point at 300 yards. Everything else has been less than 100 yards.

I shot a doe at around 350 on the trot once. I’m not proud of this story but I was young and dumb. It was completely lucky and no skill involved whatsoever. Me and a couple of my buddies were in town for the holidays and had hunted that morning. We were back at the truck and a group of does started crossing the field we were in. We started slinging lead and dropped 2. Best we could tell one was by one my bullets and one from an old crusty retired 1SG’s.

Just a hair over 200. 1989 in Russell county at a place called Uchee. Hunting with the father of the girl I was dating at that time. It was so damn cold that weekend, when I woke up in the morning and walked in the den of the camp house, there was still ice in the glass of my Crown that I had the night before! Last afternoon of our hunt and a doe stepped out in a narrow shooting lane. It was about to leave and was facing me. I put the crosshairs on the chest about halfway up and pulled the trigger. The deer dropped DRT. It turned out to be a small spike. The bullet went in at the brisket and exited just below the butt. Went slam through the entire length of the deer. Using the Win. Model 70 Featherweight in .270 with Hornady 140gr BTSP. I'm probably around 150 deer over my career and 90% of my of my shots have been under 100 yards.

Maybe 150 yards.

Consider I could shoot 1,000 yards with a .30-06 and fixed 10x scope all day long....when I was a kid.... And you can too. Some of it is tricky but I could have you shooting at paper that far fairly quickly.

I killed that deer near Hollandale MS in the MS Delta right off the river.. Laid down on my shooting mat got out a Jarrett rifle wearing a Unertl scope and went to work. He just happened to come out of a woodlot that was not the one I was setup on. The STW was a wildcat at that time nobody had ever heard of it in the mainstream. Luckily I had made an old school range card and put that woodline on it.

All that being said I do not believe it is ethical to be making shots that far. A lot can and will go wrong and you'll wound the deer. I also don't have trouble getting closer because I can actually hunt deer. I decided to take the shot due to the surrounding circumstances... last weekend of the season. 10pt. All I got is a Polaroid somewhere in a closet maybe.

125-150 yards through open hardwoods on Choccolocco WMA. Was walking in to hang a stand and shot a doe with my climber still on my back. Was pretty far back in there, shot her at 4 and didn’t get her out until around 7:30 that night. Learned a good lesson that day. If you are going to kill one for meat, either shoot them close to the road or shoot one that isn’t the biggest in the group.

Most everywhere I hunt, a shot over 100 yards is impossible. Heck I’ve never even shot past 100 at a range. Some of the above replies are downright impressive.

253 yards, Weatherby Vanguard 270 Win, Leupold vx3hd 4.5-14x50, Hornady 130 grain SST Superperformance.

1110 yards- 338 lapua
1080- 300wm
610-338 lapua
520-300wm

395 yards. .300 Weatherby Mag. Alabama clear cut.

1st deer I ever shot was a doe at 170 yards running dead away with a 30-30 open sights. Hit it between the ears (I dont think that was where I was aiming). Earlier that morning I shot at a 125 inch 8 pointer 5 times at 70ish yards and never touched a hair on him. Buck fever.

Longest ever is around 300 yards, but other than that one I dont recall shooting any others farther than 200.

335 yards on a trotting buck. Squeezed off just as soon as his chest hit the crosshairs. Dropped right there. .270 Browning

You would have missed if the buck's chest was in your crosshairs. In the roughly 1/3 second the bullet needs to travel 335 yards, a deer trotting at 10 MPH will move about 5 feet.

I shot one running full speed across a pasture bout 100 yards he made it to the end n fell I clipped his neck, I was aiming towards the front n hoping lol u gotta be swinging the gun at running deer or get lucky...mainly lucky but I don't try that often

Back in th' 70's when there were BIG Soybean Fields would "TRY" shots at 300 to 450 yards as the Farmers wanted you to kill as many as possible....had many Opportunities. Usually kill maybe 1 out of every 4 attempts at that range. I shot a Remington 700 30-06 back then with Western 150 grain "Silvertip" Ammunition and a Redfield 3-9X "Widefield" Scope. Never hunted out of a shooting house with a good prop back then....just small platforms in trees,

Nice

385

Not sure on the exact range, however far my spotlight reaches out.

And finally someone’s telling the truth!👍👍👍

556 yds ranged in Winston county

14 miles with a daisy

Next personal best…gonna shoot me a martian off the moon with a nerf gun from dollar tree

419 yds confirmed with range finder- Tikka .270

500yds. Several over 400

About 275 yards on a doe using a 280 back in 1994. Now days, all my shots are 200 or less.

Killed a handful over 400 with a Sako Finnlight 20 1/8" inch barreled 7mm-08 with 140 Nosler Ballistic Tips (one was with 139 Hornady SSTs)

350 yards 7mm W mag on a powerline once decades ago.

362yds in a shooting house with a bag rest. A-bolt 25.06 Nosler 115 gr. partitions under a Nikon Monarch set all the way up on 9 power. It felt right so I took the shot. Longest with a bow was 36 yards but it was an ugly kill and I'm not proud of it. I haven't shot over 24yds with a bow since.

296 yards freehand (father-in-law was a witness and it was ranged after the shot). Just over 300 yards in a shooting house with a steady rest.

Me 176 tall 7 point
Wife 275, 10 point
Both with my Tikka .308, 168 gr Gameking.

436 yds with a lowly 6mm creedmoor. Even got an exit hole with the peashooter😉

375 yds 10 point with a 338 rum

Bit over 600. 300+ most every year. 28yo .308 A-bolt w/ 3x9x50

250ish on a doe! Most under a 100 yds for sure.

489 lasered 9pt with a 280AI Bergara

Several between 3-400 yds, through the years. Mostly 7mm. Remington magnum. Longest bow shot 67, lasered, plenty of time, maybe I was lucky. Probably wouldn't try it again.

doe at 366 yards across what used to be a cornfield right at dark in a light rain on Christmas eve in choctaw county

Laid in the prone position on the ground and placed the crosshairs at the top of her shoulder

Hit her about 10" low and shattered both of her front legs. She drove with her hind legs with her chin on the ground out of the field and into a small creek with real steep sides.

I didn't find any blood in the field but I did see skid marks in the dirt where she bulldozed her way out of there on her chin/chest...as I got into the tree line I could hear her thrashing around in the water moaning in pain.

I had to climb down in the creek and finish her off. It was brutal and unfair to the animal and made me sick at my stomach. I haven't taken a shot like that since then and won't ever again.

Deer- 401 yards with a 300 wsm
Hog- 250 yards with a 6.8. Largest exit hole I’ve ever seen. If I could post a pic I would.

Somewheres I got a spotting scope video of me shooting an elk at 620 yds. DRT. I'll look for it.

Utah, 328 yards, mule deer

A little over 500 with a Steyr Mountain .308. Doe came out in a woods road. Friend was watching thru binoculars. Usually limit my shots to 300 yds or less.

Killed this yote at 200yds at a full trot. Lucky shot, but I got him. 7-08 Encore.

Furthest is 811yds. Have shot probably 8-10 between 500 and 700 yds. 300WM with handloads.

Bama deer- around 250 with .270
Mule deer- 762yrds with a (borrowed) .28 Nosler topped with a Swarvorski DS Scope.

Very nice

Ya I'd like to see some mounts...i know you've killed a collection of critters

My best shot was 285 out of a Summit climbing stand, ranged at a buck that was moving and stopping periodically in a young cutover. Had to squeeze in the shot when he stopped where I could see him. Shot another doe at 305 in the same cutover out of the same stand later in the year. Had a 150" plus ten point in that cutover that I never could get settled on good enough to squeeze the trigger. That one still haunts me.

The pronghorn on the left is the buck from 584 yards. He had a doe with him and she ran around and stopped at 586 yards. The 626 yard pronghorn was a doe.

This is a Hartmanns Zebra (aka Mountain Zebra from
Namibia. Zebra are extremely tough to hunt and bring down. (For those that will say it’s just a horse)

This is my best mulie and my longest shot on a mulie.

I’ve shot numerous springbok of 5 different sub-species. I’ve never shot one less than 200 yards and most were over 300 yards. The is one is the farthest I’ve connected with but I’ve missed several at much farther just trying to hit one.

The tahr hunt was one of the most physical hunts I’ve ever done by far. The shot was tough but the climb up and back down was special to say the least. The chamois was certainly the most difficult shot I’ve ever made. I was sitting on a rock aiming the rifle straight down between my feet.

This whitetail was taken in Saskatchewan in deep snow. I had him at less than 100 yards but he spooked and ran to the next ridge top. He stopped to have a look and shouldn’t have.

Those are awesome thanks

988 yards confirmed, made several across crop fields in the 7s and 8s. Also crippled a bunch trying.

Dang it man - nice pics Big Game

466 yards with a Remington 700 chambered in 280 Rem. Killed several at 300-350 yards but it's a lot further than I like to shoot.

Nice mounts BGH! Is that a wallaby next to the tahr?

Yes sir. I shot several of them on that trip.

I gotta ask. Is that baculums? I can't tell on my phone. I always wanted one of for some reason.🤣

Giraffe shin bones.

243 / shooting house over a food plot ?

I have a 6-284 Win proven on prairie dogs at 1043yds, maybe I need to set up on some powerlines this fall?

Absolutely Mauser!

Killed 1 at 360 (range finder), killed a yote at just over 500. I LOVE to shoot long range but too much can happen to do it regularly on deer. Most of the time it’s in the woods and I have my .444 Marlin.

I used to shoot steel at 1k with my 6.5-284. It’ll put one down at that distance if you do your part.

8-point touch over 300 (ranged), If I remember correctly 330..

Most less than 100yds, several around 150yds, and a few over 200yds only the one over 300.

A far piece
