About 80 yards on my first black tail buck ever. I started hunting at 19 and didn't fill a tag until last year at 22. Second buck I saw that season and I was out for 30 days, I was unemployed so I had time to be ridiculously persistent. It payed off. I didn't feel comfortable taking a shot at a really good 4x4 buck through the brush with my rifle and cartridge(22-250), but bagged a heavy forked horn that afternoon. Not as skilled as most here but I'm a new hunter(addicted) and I move out range wise every time with the paper.

I am more of a stalker when it comes to big game. With varmints I like to play sniper and shoot longer distances

14mo ago (sorry I lied on the poll) 250 yds, for my antelope, with the old No. 1 in .300 Win Mag. First Ant. back in '05 was .306 yds.
Finally. Figured, the further away you shoot them, the further to get it back to the truck. Don't think I'll be planning to shoot them any farther out than 300 or so, for that reason. Even at 250, they know your there, but not excited about it yet.

1969, Whitetail. 1175 yards. 1903 A3 Springfield Armory with iron sights.
My father who had just retired as coach as U.S. Navy Rifle Pistol Team coach had been given this match rifle for retirement and coached me on the shot from the top of a windmill..kids do amazing things when they don't understand the impossiblity of things.
I always try to use that thought when teaching new shooters.
They can and will amaze you. Very gratifying.

Longest shot on game so far is 543 yds on Spike Bull Elk. I just returned from my Montana trip where I shot a 25" Muley at 123 yds and a 4 pt. Bull Elk at 75 yds. The long shots are hard to come by and I end up doing it the old fashioned way.
