Longest Kill Shot ?

[Ronald W Schaefer]

Elk 500--7RM
WT Deer 385--30-06

 

[5.56×250]

Whitetail doe at 330yds, walking with its head up . 7mm mauser, homebuilt with factory Remington 140s . Held on the tip of her nose, propping on a round haybale. Perfect double lung hit. She sprinted 30 yrs and done. Shot several more deer in the same field with different rifles over the years, all at less than 300 yds. It was my never fail meat field. Belly crawled on several to get in for comfortable shots. Hay field was over a mile deep and from 1/4 to 3/4 mile wide. Insanely fun place to hunt meat deer !

Why would you shoot at a flying crow with a .223?

Because that's what he was holding at the time....?

I know the question was about "longest kill shot". But for me some of my most interesting shots have NOT been about how far away but about how close...

Caribou: 270 yards w/300WSM (shot him through the antler)
Kodiak Island Blacktail Deer: 420 yards w/7MM Magnum (brown bear got this deer)
Moose: 48 yards w/338 Winchester Magnum (he charged me)
Wolf: 29 yards w/300 WSM (after I shot him his 6 pack mates came after me)
Brown Bear (900 lbs): 9 yards w/44 Magnum-320 grain Ace Dubie hard cast bullet
Black Bear (324 lbs): 17 yards w/44 Magnum-320 grain Ace Dubie hard cast bullet
(And I think you can imagine what these two bears did).

I have many many more extremely close shots than long. Largest whitetail to date, 155 inch 6x6 10ft from base of my tree bow kill. Chipmunk 6 ft on the ground bow kill. Spike buck 15 ft 16ga buckshot. While tail doe 25 ft 270 win on the ground face to face. 7 pts buck 25 ft running straight at me fell at my feet 7mm mauser between the eyes. Quail less than 10 ft flying straight at me 16ga a5. Passed a doe at 6 ft on the ground bowhunting . Those off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a few more that will come to me if I think hard enough.
