Thread: Average range of deer shot?

How long is a piece of string? Depends on what country you hunting, the cal, the area etc.
Results dont mean much between a guy that bush stalks thick bush using a 44mag to the guy that uses a 7m mag in the tops. Cant really compare results, just a fact if they a bush stalker
its safe to assume its under 60m(me) and will be much longer if they a long range open country hunter.

I would have thought that was pretty obvious, the whole point being to see if overall, as hunters, if ranges of animals shot has increased. Seems to be a resounding no, with the obviously very small audience reached here.

Still, hunters need to be hunting areas where longer range shots are on. Just because rifles, optics,ammo have got better doesnt me people are going to increase the ranges of animals shot unless they changing
how they hunt.
