RE: how far will they go
A deer properly hit with the right broadhead will usually go down anywhere from 30 to 75 yards. A rare one may go 100 but not much more. A poorly hit one may go a "mile to a pond".[8D]

RE: how far will they go
Most of my deer go down within 100 yrds at the most. But I did have one deer that I felt was a really good shot (ended up being only one lung and a liver shot) went about 1/2 mile, but I think I push him to soon.

im worried about the deer running across the road or into somebodies back yard
Other then that if you do happen to hit one that goes on the property, then go and ask permission to gain access. Most people don't mind if you just need to go and retrieve a deer and are not hunting on their land. As a land owner, I would never tell someone "no" who need to go on my land to get a wounded deer.
