i watch hunting shows a bit and reading the forums here on the hunting shows deer always run and have to be trailed on the some of the forums i have read people are trailing deer for 200 300 yards some have said 1/2 mile to a mile i have been deer hunting for 13 years i have only had to trail 2 deer over 50 yards from were it was hit all but those two only went 5 to 10 yards at the most i dont shoot a huge belted mag or anything i use a ruger 243 alot of them drop right where i hit them im not a expert marksman but im a good shot so i was just woundering if having them run that far is normal and i have been luck or what
