I can only remember one deer I shot running on the first shot- he was chasing a doe and when I saw his rack was legal at full gallop, I just went to his shoulder and shot when he came to an opening. I double lunged him, he ran maybe 30 yards and dropped, the shot was somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 yards. I've hit a bunch more deer after they were hit on the first shot running, but that's the only one I can think of that I shot running unwounded. In PA- deer don't stand still like on the TV shows for very long!


Heal quickly and don't scar.
