RE: How far is too far?

If you have to take a hunting shot at more than 15 or 20 yards then you' re not hunting close enough to your feeder or bait pile.

Robert-

You missed the point. In many states bait piles and feeders are illegal. Bow hunting is done the hard way.

RE: How far is too far?

My max is 25 yards and we do hunt mule deer on foot. Honestly, in the area we hunt 99% of the shot opportunities that we have had were 30 yards and usually much less. Could have shot one at about 4 ft. last year, but couldn' t get my bow through all the brush and wasn' t sure what affect poking just 1/2 the arrow through would have on the shot!
