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
