Default Deer Shooting Techniques

I hope I am in the right forum. Please forgive if I am not...

I just started deer hunting last year in Virginia. So far, I have taken 3 does (not moving) with shots of 70 to 100 yards using a Winchester Model 70 using a 3x9 scoped, Winchester .270 with a Winchester 140 grain Fail Safe bullet. Yesterday, I missed a large doe from 200 yards (checked with a range finder) that was walking (broadside) across a field. Otherwise, she would have gone over a hill out of view. I put the scope high on the vital area but still missed. Is there some way I can practice shooting at moving targets with a high powered rifle? Are there any realistic software games?

Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas.



Ken
