Closest hunting shot you've had.

[Restless Spirit]

I shot a doe from the ground at 3 yards running by me last fall.

[Huntingnut]

I killed a deer 7 yards form the base of my tree, and a groundhog about 4 yards from me.

[Duncan]

Buck deer, 9 paces.

[Pat B]

8' from my tree while I was 10' up. Almost straight down. Not a shot I'll do again but I recovered this deer less than 30 yards from my tree.

[modr]

A buck deer on the ground at about 3 yards, heart pumping, very exciting.

I was waiting in a bedding area whee I knew a couple bulls liked to hang out during the day. I found this guy moving through the trees. He was only 20 yards or so, but everytime he stopped, there was trees in the way. I was on my knees and started to turn to my right, when my knee broke a stick with a loud pop. This bull walked right up to me about 5 steps away, and gave me a stare down head on. I was shaking so bad, and my heart was pounding so hard, I thought he would surely bust. After what seemed like 10 minutes, really only about 2 minutes, he turned broadside and got an arrow through his heart. He went 22 steps and fell. What a rush! I thought he was gonna stamp me to death!

First deer I ever killed with recurve was about 3 steps. I was walking down a fire-break and she came down the same break from the other direction. I stepped behind a big pine and when she got even with me I shot her.

Have had quiet a few walk under me when I was low in a tree stand (about head high) that I could have reached down with my bow and touched them.

I was packing a deer out this yr. and had to lay down to rest when I rolled over on my side there was a hen turkey about a yard and 4' from me. She just stood there for a while and we looked at each other. Finally just walked off clucking with another hen that was about 3 steps behind her.

Walked up on two different hogs so close I could have touched them with my bow.

A turkey at 8yds.

I shot two deer that were 10 feet(Buck) and 25 feet(doe) away from me. I like to hunt on the ground since I have a fear of heights. I bought a climbing tree stand about 10 years ago and was never able to use because I was so nervous. I like to kjeep my feet on hard ground.

[Vig]

Shot this bear last fall from a stand less than 6 feet up.  When my Dad walked up he asked me where the bear was located when I shot... I reached out and handed him my 64" Grizzlybows longbow and told him "Right where you're standing!"

[cuboodle]

About 4 inches on a doe. My cousin was about 40 yards ahead of me he jumped a doe in a tornadoe torn up blowdown at his feet the deer ran my way I came to full draw as it brushed my stabilizer I let loose I'm glad he was there cause no one believes that story except him

[The Hawk]

Sat down at a tree at 11:00, more to sleep than to hunt. Just stuck my decoy in the ground just beyond my feet. Called once and drifted off to sleep. Woke up as a Tom was mounting my decoy just beyond my feet.  I waited for him to turn away, he was "full strut". When his head was behind his fan, I shot between my feet. He was less than a yard from my boots. He took a few steps and gave it up. My Dad was on the other side of the same tree and didn't wake up until I shot.

[Robhood23]

Yearling doe in CRP at arms lenght!

[Grayseas]

I had a spike horn sniff the tip of my broad head when I was in a ground blind. (it is not legal to shoot spike horns)

[KentuckyTJ]

7 steps for me on a doe.

[ScottV_7]

A rabbit on Saturday that I should have tried to step on rather than shoot.

The buck in my avatar pic was at 5 yards.

[ericmerg]

about 2 yards on a chipmunk
