What is the closest shot, gun or bow.............and I'm talking legitimate stuff.
I can think of two hogs that I took while stalk hunting in the palmettos that both probably had powder burns on them. One was so close that I had to step back as he crossed in front of me. The other came crashing through the palmettos after my buddy spoked the pack as we were trailing them. Just poked the rifle toward his shoulder as he passed........
Shot a couple of deer, one with a bow and one with a pistol, that were standing directly under my stand.........that translates into about 12 feet or so but I don't think that is all that unusual.
I'll admit that the long shots take a lot of skill but getting close is darn exciting.
