92 yards, right through the brain. Buck was standing behind a line of trees and all I could see was the head only when he turned the head sideways. I knew I had to shoot through the brain, which is roughly a 2" circle to aim for. Savage 12 ga bolt action with Remington accutip 3". Squatted on the platform of my climber, rested my hand on the stand and made the shot. The buck just disappeared, I thought I missed. Went to the spot he was standing only at the end of my day's hunt and there he was, dropped on the spot. Used my range finder to measure the distance- 92 yards.
