I have killed 2 muley bucks inside of 5 yards, The first when I was 16 or 17 I was stalking another buck and a small 3x4 came trotting down the trail I was crawling on and got to about 4 yards, stopped and looked back over his shoulder for a minute and then turned broadside to walk down the hill. I had drawn as soon as he looked over his shoulder and the moment he turned broadside I sent one thru him he made it about 20 yds down the hill and piled up. The other was 2 years ago on a timberline buck my buddy was stalking a group of bucks and I was behind the spotter giving him hand signals he was about 100 yds from the group of bucks when a forky that we hadn't seen winded him and busted the other bucks. They didn't really know what had made the forky blow outta there, so they just ran about 100 yds and then started walking straight toward me! I watched them walk toward me thinking the whole time there is no way they are gonna come within range but the smallest of the group, a little 22" 4x4 walked around the boulder i was hiding behind and i had drawn when he was about 20 yds in front of the boulder and as soon as his vitals cleared the rock I shot. distance on him was honestly 8-10 feet!
