What's your average deer killshot distance?

[Mrs_Esterhouse]

Just curious. Thanks.

I can usually take them around 25-40 yards with my 45. For any distance in the bottoms I hunt a looooong shot is 100

Depends. Hunting around home, 75-100 yards. At the club in Washington county, I’ve shot them 325+ and there’s potential to get a farther shot too.

I haven’t taken one yet. On my property the longest sight line I have is less than 50 yards, and the property is over-run with them at night.

The one time I actually stood out at sunset with a rifle in my hands. I heard them bleating and breaking through brush. I saw the white of the tail. But by then it was too dark to legally take a shot.

I also later found out the deer processor was not taking any animals for 3 days.

Shot depends on what light I am using !

Usually about 1000 yards , then the alarm clock rings!

it’s been years since I killed one but I’d say most under 75 yards

Y’all may think I’m lousy but the last 10 or so have been under 30’ on the ground without a blind.

I have a nice climber but it’s just a PITA to carry and set up along with dragging when successful in the woods.

I’m all about scouting and scent/wind knowledge, the rest is just plain luck I guess.

Dress out with some blue jeans and an old fleece jacket I leave on the front porch along with my orange safety vest. I literally use my camouflage budget towards more lead.

I said 75 because that’s probably average for the last several years but have taken tons of them well under that in the past

35 yards give or take 10.
