        What is this rifle thingy you speak of?

        I like mine at 150 yards. This allows a little room for the kiddos or whatever making noise and not spooking the deer.

        150 yards with decent optics should be a chip shot. My daughter shot her first and only deer the day before her 14th birthday at 153 yards. She had never shot at an animal in her life. Nailed it! Perfect lung shot.

        My youngest daughter shot a bunch of animals at 120+ yards when she was 12.

          150 yards. Like they said before...depends on the shooter.

            Less than 100 yards. My preference has been to do a drop in there tracks - neck shot, saving as much venison as possible.

                  I like 70-80 yards depending on the setup. Sometimes the terrain determines where things have to be.

                    Stand 1 has two feeders on it. The close feeder is 165yrds and the other one is 196yrds.
                    Stand 2 has two feeders also but much closer 72yrds and 102yrds

                          I have two. One at 100 yrds the other at 125yrds. The deer don't magically appear under the feeder...well sometime they seem too. But generally at our place they mill about in the brush for a awhile or walk slowly across the pasture. Unless we are talking about pigs then they make a bee line for the feeder.

                              Depends on where in tx you hunt, and the terrain. The shooters ability says it all though,if you can get a 3 in group at 100 yds and are happy then thats your distance at best. But like other have stated if we practice choose our weapons and ammo wisely no reason not to shoot out to 300-400 yards .i've been yold my 22-250 is way to small a cal for deer and hogs, but with head shots on hogs at 200 and 300 yards regulary i dont get that speech anymore
