Default RE: Running Deer Shots

Strange, sounds like that was just a unlucky shot really as I doubt that your rifle was off by 2' at 200 yards due to the movement of the deer, although your are right about your personal preference not to shoot moving game. I agree that most people should not shoot moving game past 100 yards, myself included. I can' t imagine what the lead would be past that point and there are too many variables like wind, animal speed, and potential brush along the bullet' s path. No good reason to shoot that far at moving game for any reason. Under 100 yards and their can be debate.
