RE: Still Hunting questions
Didn't see anyone else answer the question bout how far they run. It varies but they will seldom run more than 25-30 yards. Usually they circle to see what it was that spooked them.
Hope that helps but let me add this to maybe help you. Deer rely on three things. First is the nose. Second hearing and third is the eyes. My personal experience is they will seldom spook and run if they only get a bead on you with one of them. Soon as two of them line up, they spook. If one spooks freeze and relax. You may still get another chance. He doesn't usually go far. Look for an eye or a nose downwind. Good luck.
