as long as people arent sprinting through the woods and yelling, deer typically move at about walking pace ahead of you. after tagging out the past 3 years ive had 3 nice bucks that i pushed to my friend that were walking when they got to him. he now has 3 bucks because of it. i know where they bed and how they move to escape danger. i walk with the wind at my back towards the deer more or less hanging out in known bedding areas before moving on. try to spot deer before they get up and you have an easy shot at a rising deer. other wise they are either getting up 100 yards ahead of you and by pausing they end up just walking about 250 yards later where my buddy has a simple chip shot. if they arent pushed too hard and just bumped they will bolt for 200yards or they will smell you and take off just barely more than a gait
