LEADING A RUNNING DEER....POLL
 

How far in front of the deer would you lead (shooting with a 12 ga slug)a runner, at mid stirde, when its 100 - 125 yards in front of you running from right to left?

I would have to be in the situation to ultimately decide, but I would try to stop him or watch when he did. You didn't take alot of things into consideration...wind, terrain, other hunters. I normally wouldn't take a shot like this.

I would never shoot at a running deer at that distance with a slug gun to begin with .Dang stupid if you ask me

I'm with CD on this one.

Should never try that shot. Even if you hit it your just as likely to hit it in the hams or gut. If you can't get a better shot than that then the deer wins on that day.

While I have killed several game animals on the run with a high powered rifle,I would not attempt it at 100 yards with a shotgun or muzzle loader.

Agree!

I was hoping I would find an "April Fool" on about the 5th post.

ditto!!

i'm not sure i would feel too comfortable with a moving shot with a sluggun unless it's close. with a high powered rifle on the other hand i would hold just a little ahead of it.
