From memory a survey a few years ago done by deerstalkers concluded that 80 plus % of deer were shot under 100 m certainly under 200m. Maybe because it's there we over gear, over gun, and over optic ourselves up the wazoo to mostly achieve the same result as an open sighted rifle firing an "antique" cartridge.
Forgot to add. 121 paces 243, fixed 4x scope
