Shortest rifle shot- 12 ft
Longest rifle shot - 650 yds
Average shot - 30 yds
longest pack - 10 miles
average pack- 3 miles
number of rifle elk hunting days per year - 31

I don't hunt with a rifle much but my shortest shot with a rifle was 7 ft. on a deer
Longest rifle shot - around 150 yds. 1 deer, one elk and 1 bear.
Average shot - Take away the 7 ft. and 150 yards and the average is around 40 yds.
Longest pack - 5 miles distance. Longest time wise - 7 hours. It was only 300 yards but damn straight up. It was my first elk and I didn't know you could take the bones out.
average pack - less than a mile
average number of rifle elk hunting days per year - 0.2 That's 8 days in one year out of 40 years of elk hunting.
