Probably 30-40%, a little higher if I only looked at buck gun kills.

At least 95%.
Only one longer was a doe I shot at exactly 100 yards. Otherwise all my bucks were under 30 yards. I should probably just hunt with my bow during the rifle season.

I would say 80-90%. My longest was 152 yards with my .50 Cal. I can only think of a couple others that were in the 100 yard range. Most were within easy bow range. The woods I hunt is 2 thick to shoot beyond 35-40 yrds in most areas I hunt.

90% plus under 50. But 50 is really close to average. Maybe 30 to 50. I did shoot one at 150 or so across a old beaver pond

Greater than 80% just counting bucks. One of the reasons I went bow only this year. Can't kill em with the bow if you have a gun in your hand

Most of them, at least 75% of them.

100%, but thats because I've only killed one deer with a gun. I expect that percentage to change to 50% here shortly when I shoot a mule deer.

Re: What percentage of your GUN kills have been UNDER 50 yards? ?
I would say about half however all but one were under 75. Granted my gun kills aren't all nice bucks, gun season growing up for me was if its legal you shoot. A lot of my gun kills came from one killer treestand in my early days that was setup for a nice 50-75 yd shot down onto a bench. Just about every year on opening day a buck would come from the public along that bench and I shot a couple nice ones from it before passing it on to my little brother. That's been kind of a rotating kids stand at our camp for years. A few years later a girl that hardly hunted shot a 180 class buck on that same bench.

I was just laughing to myself about that today. I just don't typically setup shop where I can see/shoot far.
I bet the majority of mine are under 50 yards. I can think of..2 gun kills and 2 flintlock kills that we're probably over 50. Out of...ive lost track..30-40 deer, I don't think I've broken 75yds.

Whitetails a couple. But most where between 50-75. Mule deer probably an average of 75-100. Did kill one over 375 downhill. Measured with an old non slope adjusting rangefinder after the recovery. Shot a spike elk at about 180, but my 1st rack bull, and only other elk gun kill was under 50.

Re: What percentage of your GUN kills have been UNDER 50 yards? ?
I’d say at least 95% also
I can only remember 1 that was longer.
I’m usually hunting the thick stuff.
Could easily use a slug gun.
But the Remington 760 pump is hard to beat!

Lots of high numbers I see. If I were to guess, probably around 85% for me.
