Shooting at running deer?
Any of you guys shoot at running deer? If so, any good tips for me?
I’m not trying to “stir the pot”. This is just a good question for my fellow bow hunters. How far would you have to lead a running deer with a bow? Let say at fifty yards, running at about 20mph?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

With a gun ...Yes. With a bow... NO. A casual walking deer with a bow... Certainly. I've seen too many people on TV spook a deer with their little Mmmaaaaaaaaaaa in an attempt to stop a deer 10 yards away.

Shooting at running deer is not a good idea. It borders on the unethical, IMO.
Shooting at one running 20 mph 50 yards away is both unethical and insane.
I wouldn't shoot at one 10 yards away coming stright at me. Tomorrow is another day.
Ethics, ethics, ethics.
