Looking at a new location for next years Ohio deer season. I know it's early but this would be the first year I am hunting by myself. I have deer hunted on my cousin's land for the last few years, as he introduced me to deer hunting.
I want to set up a blind in a small patch of trees along a creek, overlooking a large grass field. There are houses apprx. 675 yards on the other side of the field. It is completely flat. Using a 12 gauge slug or inline muzzleloader, would 675 yd be enough of a "comfort" zone to contain any miss? I feel like it may be too close, but I am looking for some opinions.
