Default Long range deer hunting

Just courious on the greatest distance u have harvested a deer?

I just started hunting some bean feilds up in VA and a few weeks ago i buzzed a big doe ( just found a little blood and some white brisket hair) i new it wasnt a great shot when she jumped and hauled butt.

the range finder had her at 235 yards. i should not have tried it but my trusty 270 had always did well up he 125 yards.( where i hunted in Sc that was a long shot in heavy woods)

any advice on shooting far on deer? is it different than shootin paper?

My rifle shoots 150g bullets an 1 in high at 100 yards..i guess i need to practice but i dont have a range nearby thats more than 100 yards.

any advice would help.

Thanks
