Having shot many deer over the decades, and tracked them when necessary, I have come to believe that a wounded deer that doesn’t associate the noise and pain with you tends to not go far before losing strength and dying. But if they see you, they may run till they expire, and that might be a considerable distance. That said, there are no hard and fast rules about it.
I’m a lung shooter. They, in my experience, always die when lung shot, though they may run a bit. The DRT guys that head shoot, neck shoot, and such as that, are rolling the dice. If the shot is well placed, it works as hoped, but put the bullet a bit off, which is easy to do, and you’ll have a wounded deer and not much of a blood trail.
