shortest shot on a deer

[thirty06]

Have just voted on Grayghosts post for longest shot at a deer which goes to show that there are some fine riflemen/women out there.
I want to know how many good hunters are out there.

What is the closest range you have managed to stalk a deer to before you have popped the cap.

I have to gloat that the closest I have stalked to is approx 2 metres on a whitetail doe before she became camp meat but that was a bit of a fluke.

I usually try to keep them to under 100 with either the 260 or the 30-06, knowing that I can take them at a longer range if I need to.

Also do you guys have a season on big game. Here we can hunt big game all year round. The only season we have is on game birds and trout and salmon. Everything else is open as there is so much of everything we need to hunt them all year just to control numbers. Can't imagine having to wait to go get a deer to put on the BBQ
