I voted 100-200. I thought through the mountain bucks I’ve killed the last decade, while there has been some necessity for longer range shooting, most of the bigger ones were killed between 60 yards and 150 yards.

I’ve got three mule deer so far, all shots between 115-155 yards.

Most have been what I would consider close shots. It’s not hard to get close on a lot of high country bucks.

This year I did shoot one in the 560 yard range. It was in a sea of willow, and another hunter was hunting the same buck. I wasn’t about to pass up a shot I could make just to try and get a closer shot.
