I would say accurately shot deer almost always die. How far they run, well that is another story. I shot a nice 8pt the week before last that was shot right through both lungs and still ran darn near 150yds, after plowing leaves for 10yards at the shot. I was actually surprised how far he made it. Blood trail was heavy the whole way.
Game animals are tough, I never underestimate them.
