Closest Kill Shot

closest kill

Black bear in my back yard. Shot it between 6-8 ft away with an exomax crossbow. It was trying to get even closer but i figured if i missed, there was going to be a skinny white boy with lots of cuts and puncture marks. He ran about 30 ft and pilled up. Never did find the arrow. it was gone into a bank behind the bear. Pretty cool experience:dancingbanana:
 
12 gauge, 3" #2 steel point blank on rabbit's head... he ran into my snare right in front of me... was quick and messy.. left the ears hanging in the snare!

-1 cm... :eek:

So I brought my stainless .223 M70 Win Hvy Varmint barrel closest to him and he bit my barrel :evil:

Then I let him have a 69 gr Sierra MKing at 2850 fps as he was chewing on my match barrel.... It was not pretty!

LMAO......:D

They do get real agressive don't they!

My closest was a groundhog at about 4 feet with a .22 rimfire. 33gr. yellow jacket right in the face as he stared at me from the opening of his burow.

Closest deer would be a doe at about 40 yards, .270 win 130 gr. PSP
 
15 meters, female coyote running full tilt perpendicular to my trail, Winchester M70 in .270WSM. Bullet was scooting along at 3400fps and punched two perfect .270 holes as there was no time to slow down to optimum expansion speed. Crazy shot. Barely got the gun to my eye and more or less aimed by my hand position while panning real fast. Landowner was pretty happy as he had foals due and was having a coyote problem.
 
hand to hand with knife

1st whitetail at 15yo got up and charged me and got me. I sprawled and we both went down. My cousin jumped on his ass and I stayed sprawled on his head and stabbed him with my hunting knife.

Technically he was wounded with a 35rem, but still....
 
Gopher at 6 inches or so, with a .223. Shouldn't have taken that shot, my ears rang for most of the day. Was standing, looking for movement in a field, when the rat squeaked right at my feet. Lowered the rifle pointed it at the top of it's head, and splat.

Pinned a Mulie buck with my bow, at about 10 feet. Pretty sure that he should have been able to hear my heart beating, as that's about all I can recall hearing at the time! :)

I was sitting at ground level, at the time.

touched the shoulder with the muzzle as a wounded bullwinkle went by. I don't think he could see me through the mist of blood he was exhaling with each running step. Pretty dramatic bang flop. Wife watched the whole thing. hero status lasted a while.
 
Extremely pissed off black bear bout 10 yards give or take. The first brass didn't even hit the ground before the other 4 went sailin through his noggin/chest...Who says a pump 30-06 can't be pumped that fast?:p

Had my bead on the head of a ruffed grouse at 10 feet or so. Damn thing took off just as I pulled the trigger on my 535 with modified choke. Can you say splatt! Not much of anything left.
 
Ruffed grouse with a rock, practically standing on it. I think I was 11 or 12... a fair while ago, regardless. Woke up the inner caveman; I spit it on a branch and roasted it over an open fire. Never ate a better bird before or since.

More recently it's been gophers. Best one was standing outside of my truck and I heard one squeak just in front of the bumper. I stood up on the running boards and he was standing up looking back at me, not giving the least bit of a damn.

.17HMR through the eye; he didn't have much of a head left after but it still earned a headshot dance.
