No, you cannot punt a field goal in football. Punting and field goals are two different types of plays in football. Punting is when a player kicks the ball to the opposing team to change possession, while a field goal is when a player kicks the ball through the goalposts to score points.

Has a team ever tried a short pooch punt from inside their opponents 25 or even 20 yard line?
In pro football, the likelihood would be slim. The main factors would be 1) the health of the field-goal kickers, 2) the accuracy of the field-goal kickers, and 3) the wind. Although no records have been found in this search, it is possible that this convergence of events has occurred. The likelihood of such a pooch punt increases as the level of skill decreases. Thus, a Pop Warner football team would likely pooch punt in such a situation.
When would a football team decide to punt?
If the team is down to their 4th down and have yet to make the 10 yards to get to 1st down again, a team would either set up for a field goal if they are in range, or simply punt the ball instead of attempting a 4th and long.
