RE: Running Deer Shots
 

Completely uninjured deer, running full out - inside 50 yards

Completely uninjured deer, trotting - inside 100 yards

Wounded deer, any circumstances - any distance

This is the reason I don' t hunt over dogs or anything like that - I feel that the art of ' leading' a deer is so arbitrary that I couldn' t in good conscience do it, regardless of how much I might practice for it.

For me never. Gun, rifle or bazooka.

I wouldn' t do it, I' ld rather wait for a non-moving target.:)

RE: Running Deer Shots
 

The deer would have to be pretty close. 50 yards would definatly be the farthest far me. That may even be stretching it.

RE: Running Deer Shots
 

Running inside 50 I' ll shoot. The farther out they get the slower towards walking speed they should be. Past 100, they got to be stopped.

RE: Running Deer Shots
 

Running inside 50 yards with a shotgun and buckshot I' ll pile him up. Further than that with a rifle I' ll pass.

I' m with Rack-attack ,
I never shoot at them when they' re moving . If I can' t grunt them to a stop I' ll pass every time , there' s no sense wounding them needlessly if it can be avoided .

A lot would depend on the shooting conditions ,but as a rule they would be a hundred yards or less and fairly open shooting . One buck I shot last year was running and I just happened to be shooting over a rest . That one was almost to easy .
