What was your closest shot on game?

[Wudstix]

For me it was a 125# hog that I chased down for 75 yards and ran after into a briar patch.  Shot was @5’.  One of the pigs in my avatar.  First one ran by me at about 4 yards.  Both on the ground in about 59 minutes.

A turkey at 5 yards

A deer at 4 yards

Actually, drew on a small buck at two yards to see if I could pull it off...somehow I did...had first attempted to touch him with my BH then thought better of it when the BH tipped arrow was approximately 6 inches from him and I withdrew the attempt.

A fallow doe at 5  yards that I actually had to let get out that far as could not draw the bow while she was closer. And a Buck at about same distance. Very surreal seeing their reactions at that range.

[Rock 'N Bow]

A doe directly under my stand.

[Chuck Jones]

An elk at 3 feet. I thought it was going to step on me! Big cow took one step and rolled down the hill, dead.

[Pat B]

Doe at 5' from my tree. A straight down shot I wouldn't take again.

[twitchstick]

My closet was 2 yards on a deer. The Mt. Goat in my avatar was 4 yards.

I’m mostly a climbing stand hunter. Shot 3 bucks one year alone straight down. Actually had to make sure I didn’t shoot my foot. So stand height was it and that’s been done many numerous times. Just 3 in one year was a lot

[Pine]

Whitetail doe on the ground about 5 feet.

[achigan]

Last years buck was at 4 yards when I loosed the arrow. I took a limb chicken at 3 feet from a ground blind.

[Car54]

[Sam McMichael]

Deer 4 or 5 yards under my stand.

A nice big 4X4.  We were pushing narrow woods. I was standing beside a trail. One minute nothing. A split second later this buck came full speed right at me. I had to literally lean backward as it passed me.

I drew and released in one motion. The arrow was a three blade and hit him in the shoulder and bounced back at me.  I took one step and picked up the arrow.

[Walt Francis]

Several cow elk at 2-3 yards.  We had an funnel the elk went through and as they hugged the higher rocks.  We waylaid a lot them as they walked by before they closed the late winter hunt.

Called in and shot a bull moose at four yards.

[Cory Mattson]

36 inches
Spotted a big boar out in a clearing between thunderstorms
Moved in couple hundred yards
Found myself at the bottom of a steep clay wall covered with Blackberries and Briers - the steep grade was about 16 feet
I inched up slope side stepping one step up half a slide back
When I got to the top with only my charcoal stained forehead and eyes I see the boar 10 yards away and oblivious to my presence
I took one step down - nocked an arrow- intending to rise, draw, shoot in one motion
As I rose arrow 3/4s drawn I see the boar trotting directly at me
I held crouched drew as far as I could and shot directly into his throat
At which he jumped over my head crash landing 16 feet below and ran off

I trembled for some minutes
Got it together- inched along an amazing blood trail - right to him in 10 minutes

Barely enough room for the arrow to clear my bow.

[curlis]

Deer on the ground at about 2 yards.

[Danny Rowan]

2 turkeys at 3 yards one year apart. Guam pig at 3 steps.

[Wudstix]

Another close one was a big boar that dressed 357# and I stalked to @17 yards crouched down, he continued coming and I dropped string at about 10’.  Buddy thought I planned to jump on pig and cut his throat.  I was glad he ran away.  Dropped at 25 yards.

A couple of pigs within 10 feet.
