70 yards sounds closer ... LOL!
or we could call it .04 miles!
or 2300 inches!
actually, i'm bad at judging anything much more than 20 feet sooo...
Here is our pad. House in lower left. I've measured the centerline and we are ~77 feet. So taking my house and roughly measuring my laptop screen and extending the house measurement towards the river it would appear the river is about 150 feet away. Plus about 30 foot down. There is about a 4 foot walk path then it drops at maybe a 70% grade to the river bottom. Then there is an island, then another bluff similar to our and nothing but woods and road construction parking area. We own all the way to the river, not easements from the TWRA.
So, in a closer pic there is a slough about halfway to the river. The deer travel and eat between that and the river so I'm guessing it would be about a 75 foot shot, plus the 30 foot drop.
sitting on the deck they just stand and watch if they hear the boys (dogs) barking at them. Rarely run away. I could have four shooters and drop all the adults at one time. Doubt AC would let me tho....
My measure of a good spot was being able to shoot critters out the toilet window .
