that's what I don't get, I have taken 60 some deer beyond 400 yards, 27 of which were beyond 700, 11 were beyond 1000, and 3 broke 1200, and never lost 1, and had several bad hits, they do not run at those distances, they just bed up, and you finish them or let them expire, I've had harder times finding those I saw fall DRT in the scope.
don't get me wrong, not saying they never run, but every deer I have shot or saw shot at long range that ran was on a lung shot death dash.
