average distance deer go

[Rhody Hunter]

I have noticed that the last several deer i have taken have gone what i think is a long distance between where they are shot and where they are found. So the question is on average how far do the deer you shoot go before dropping

My personal average is between 40-60yds in the last 10-12years....

I asked this because the last 2 went about 100 or so plus. They where both double lungs with the last one being a slice across the heart as a bonus

just asking

Last year 40 yards and 75 yards.

Usually my deer run about 40-80 yards, but last year I landed a double lung shot on a doe and she ran about 400 yards. I've never had that happen before but I was hunting a wide open cut field and there was nothing in the deer's way.

Keep in mind- deer can cover ALOT of ground, REAL quick.

For one to run 50 yards it likea few leaps....

I dont usually stop deer- I wait for them to stop themselves. So, I tend to shoot at deer that are not "alert"....which I atribute to my short recoveries.

I don't normally like to agree with you, but I agree with you 100% on this!!!! I've only had one deer travel over 100yds that was shot WELL, everything else was dead in under 75yds.

I am going to gave to say around 60-80 with a good hit and a quiet bow....I have had them fall closer and farther but 60 -80 is prolly average...
