what is your longest kill? mine is 938 yards, white tail...

Yah I'm not to sure either. I can recall every animal and many details of the call or hunt itself but not so much the distance in any particular shot. Might be in the 300 yard range. Not that I'm a poor shot or anything and I pack more than capable firearms over the years, .270 Remi, 300 RUM, 300 WSM but I just enjoy getting them in close is all, or getting myself in close. Ive passed on clear shots in the 5 - 600 yard range to wait it out and bring them in. I can honestly say in 38 years of big game hunting and many a moose and deer and various other game under the belt it's never cost me an empty freezer and in 38 years of hunting I've lost 1 animal to a poor placed shot when I was 15 years old. That was do to being young and excited and poor shot placement, not distance or poor bullet.

But don't take me wrong, each to their own, everyone should enjoy it the way they like, as long as we are out there doing it and not fighting about it alls good.

Approx 440yrds I believe if I'm correct that is the distance across a 1/4 section from one fence line to the other.
A couple more around the 400 mark.
That's my self imposed limit unless I am able to get substantially more range time in the future.
But vast majority have definitely been around 50-150.

You might be shooting further than you realize, a section is 1 mile (1760 yds)square so a 1/4 section would be 1/2 mile (880 yds) square.

Lance I allways called that the 1/4 mile fence.  There’s lots of them around.

Yotes love to run down it.

Nothing stopping someone from putting up a fence wherever they like but for agricultural purposes a section is 1 mile x 1 mile, so if you divide that into 4 equal parcels each 1/4 section is 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile. If you shoot from once fence to another that will be 880 yrds.

I think rod/chain are surveyor terms with a square rod equal to one acre.

I believe "long range killing" is just shooting, not hunting. But to each his own. What is your nearest kill shot?
With the recent ban on spears, long rang shooting may also get banned.

How did you know how far they where at the time?

Not first time shooting distance use too used Heinz ketchup cans as targets

then walk it out and back, went too town got argo and watched speedo

1 chain = 66 feet......the width of a road allowance.
