Two years ago I shot a small buck (225 lbs) at 6 feet while I was a watcher on a drive.
Once while still-hunting in a light rain with splotchy snow still on the ground, I was about to put my foot down on a patch of brown grass, when the grass turned into a doe, and got up and ran away. I didn't have a doe tag, so had to let it go.
I suppose my closest still-hunted animal kill was around 10-15 yds.
