My longest kill in the West Oregon coast range is 1030 yds, and several from 650-950. That particular area where I killed the 4 pt. Is "smaller" country but some areas lend to longer shots.
The big clearcuts offer some long range shooting, but most of my southwestern Oregon blacktail hunting has been a tree-stand affair, with shots ranging from 20 to 50 yards. I did knock one down out on a fairly open ranch near The Dalles at around 300 yards a couple of years ago ( not a true blacktail, but a bench-leg ) but that is about as far away as I've ever shot one.
