I think a deer has a better chance survivingif someone has a bow in their hand instead of a gun, if a deer is 200 yards away it wont get killed with a bow, but could be killed with a gun very easily....

RE: Central WI shed

Well after carefully measuring to the best of my ability I come up with a gross of 54.5", so with an equivalent opposite sideand a 14" spread it looks to be a low 120's deer. Not bad for a city deer.
