A bit of fun... guess the distance

Some interesting guesses.
I agree it's not too easy, as the fairly wide angle of the phone photo makes it look a bit further than it is.
The hedge in front of the large tree is 100m, mid point of the grassed area is c.150m, the fallow on the right is 173m, the one on the left is 179m, as pinged through my Leica binos.
It's a fairly steep banked field, so an easy drag down, if the grass is wet a tug on a drag rope and the carcass leads the way!
I've shot many a fallow from that spot over the years, but do it too often in a season and they run straight across to the wood on the right without pause.

Thanks for posting your estimates, a few of you are very close!
Both within "point and press" distance then, without having to worry about any holdover.
My guess for the one on the right was pretty close to within a few metres, but the one on the left was quite deceiving as it looked to me to be at least 30m further away from the shooting position. Probably an illusion caused by the angle.

An interesting exercise. Thanks for posting.
