550 yards, Remington .308. Wasn't any waiting to know I'd hit solid, though. At that range a 165gr .308's still going about 1.5x the speed of sound.

edited to add: Oh, that's the longest shot I've made on a game animal. I've made a couple a bit further out on pigs and other varmints, usually with .25-06 or .22-250.

400 yards Rem M 700 30.06 150gr nosler ballistic tip. It was down a shooting lane, I didn't have a rangefinder either. It was a longhorn spike trying to get with a doe, I hit him in the neck and he fell like a sack of potatos.

A yote little over 625 yards. Remington sendero in 25-06 with a Leupold vx III 3x9. First time I ever pick up this rifle (dad's). Yote was in a slow trot moving right to left. Told dad I needed to lead him and adjust for distance. He said just to put it on his chest. Well I did it my way. Pulled the trigger when the verdical hair was even with nose and horizonal was even with tips of the ears. Hit him in the ear. Always listen to dad!!!

I was chasing some teal up a creek one day when my cousin and I came up on a little clearing on top of a small hill. I'm watching the teal go down between the trees and I hear a wood duck going away from me. I had never shot a wood duck so I instantly turn to see it flying about 30 yards out and away from me. My shotgun was in my right hand and my left hand was gripped to a tree to keep me from sliding back down the bank in the mud. I swing my shotgun up with my right arm and point as close as I can, not really able to line up the bead, I just pull the trigger and hope as he reaches 40+ yards from me. Sure enough, sucker drops down into the creek. My cousin turns and said "are you kidding me!?" I know it's not as special as some of the shots you guys have told of, since I was using a shotgun, but it was my first wood duck and I was dang proud considering I was pointing on instinct rather than line of sight with the bead.

347 yards on a doe out on an open wheat field using a Winchester Model 70 in .243 and 100 grain bullet. Boom, watch, watch, she falls down, wait and then I hear the "whomp" from the impact. Insane shot using an old 4X scope that came with the rifle back in the olden days. Now its a squirrel scope but at the time it was all I had. Doe looked like a little poodle dog at that distance.

Still very proud of that shot.



Be kind with your words, thankful to your Creator and generous with the meat from your hunt.

Longest shot to date was ~125 yards...

But my personal best was when I killed 2 hogs on a full sprint with one bullet @ about 100 yards.
