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.

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 .

RE: Running Deer Shots
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 .
