I hunt over beanfields and shoot alot of deer on nuisance permits here in SC . Some of the shots can get pretty long and I have a rifle set up for that purpose. My longest shot was a lazed 502 yds with a custom 300 WSM out of a barn with a shooting bench built in the loft. When the beans start coming up, its not uncommon to shoot half a dozen in an evening from that stand.
Ive shoot several each season from 200- 300 yds, but the majority are shot at 200 or less. This season I killed deer from as close as 15 yds with a bow to 300+ with a rifle. Distance usually depends on where Im hunting and what weapon Im using.
