Jessup,
You about summed it up. I sent the OP a PM, as I know the very area he wants to hunt - I've walked the ground during the spring/summer, but hunt a different spot a couple of miles away. Where he's going he'll be LUCKY to see a deer 200 yds out, and it's fairly common that shots are under 20 yds

Like I said, I've been hunting 2-3 miles from where he is talking about for 30 years, and My father hunted there from the 1930s - I made the LONGEST shot any of us ever made - 225 measured yards, and people were amazed I was able to get a shot that long (OLD woods road abandoned since the 19 teens, but still somewhat clear - pure luck to see the deer)

The SHORTEST shot? Somewhere between 3 and 4 yards - I was sitting up against a stone fence when the deer stepped OVER the fence, walked between my legs, and started walking away - I had to wait for her (it was a doe) to get far enough to raise my rifle - think about it - a 3 yd shot, your rifle is a significant portion of the distance
