i have only had one deer that was not movin g run off and i was 10 yards away...but most of the time i'll actually stand back abit and throw a stick at the deer,after i've checked for movement or breathing,then i approach slowly making a little noise just incase.standing anywhere near a deer thats about to jump up and run is not on my fun list.
I'm a big fan of the throw a stick at it. I hold my shotgun in my right hand and underhand a stick at the deer's head. By the time the stick hits, I have drawn my gun up and I'm ready for a finishing shot if needed.
