average distance deer go
 
I have noticed that the last several deer i have taken have gone what i think is a long distance between where they are shot and where they are found. So the question is on average how far do the deer you shoot go before dropping

I asked this because the last 2 went about 100 or so plus. They where both double lungs with the last one being a slice across the heart as a bonus

Usually my deer run about 40-80 yards, but last year I landed a double lung shot on a doe and she ran about 400 yards. I've never had that happen before but I was hunting a wide open cut field and there was nothing in the deer's way.

Keep in mind- deer can cover ALOT of ground, REAL quick.

For one to run 50 yards it likea few leaps....

I dont usually stop deer- I wait for them to stop themselves. So, I tend to shoot at deer that are not "alert"....which I atribute to my short recoveries.
I don't normally like to agree with you, but I agree with you 100% on this!!!! I've only had one deer travel over 100yds that was shot WELL, everything else was dead in under 75yds.
