Whats your shortest kill to date?

[Beendare]

There has to be some good stories of close kills....post em up.

I've missed a coyote at 5'....and passed a spike elk at arms length.....my closest kill would be one of the many hog charges I've had.

I don't think the arrow cleared the riser on a hog I had charge me in 4' tall grass in Australia.

3-4 yards whitetail doe archery

Barely, I mean barely past fingertip reach with my arm stretched out. Needless to say, there was not much aiming involved.

First NM bull, maybe 2 steps.

I shot a Muley at 18 yards........I think that's my closest archery kill shot. I'm not patient enough to let them get too close. As soon as I have an open shot I'm comfortable with, I shoot.

Great thread! Closest for me is this roosie at 6 steps. Cut his bugle off and he came in on a string.

I shot my first elk at 8 feet. Also killed a whitetail buck when it ran into my broadhead at full draw. It cleared the edge of the tree i was behind and ran into the front of my fully drawn bow. It knocked me down and I triggered the release when it hit me. Broadhead entered its neck and he dropped 30 yards later.

8 yards on a whitetail. Lots of dead deer from 10-20 yards.

Shot a doe at three feet while standing on the side of a trail. She walked out of the corn. I was standing on the side of the trail that’s an escape route into the the corn field from the woods.

My brother was trying to do a one person drive through a bedding area expecting the deer to run into the corn. As I am standing there I hear something behind me and see legs walking down the trail. The wind was blowing from me to her and I was just waiting for her to blow out. She kept coming and stopped about 10” from me. She took another step looked the other way and I raised my bow drew and shot while just pointing my arrow at her chest. There was no aiming involved. Heart shot and she dropped on the spot.

I could have smacked it in the ass and it would have died of a heart attack.

4 yards from the base of the tree, but I was 30’ up.

18 yards from the ground.

I killed a cottontail at 3 feet with my 20 gauge shotgun yesterday while I was dove hunting.

I spined a 12 point at the base of my tree. I arrowed him between the shoulder blades and he dropped in his tracks. He was one step from my tree.

Sorry man, but with that barrel length I am not impressed. All kidding aside, that is one sweet rifle!

At about 8 steps was my closest kill and only elk.

 

[TheTone]

Javelina at a couple feet as it ran past me. I had to jump out of the way of the one behind it or else it would have ran into me

Not short or long enough to be novel. Antelope at 20 yards.
