I know the deer to the North of Edmonton are larger then the deer down here in the south. So a range finder is a much better choice and if your rifles PBR is say 250 yards then if you feel the deer is still to far away try getting closer.
No shame in losing an animal if you try to get with in a more comfortable shooting range, wounding one however carries a life time of regret.

My thoughts exactly! In read once where Jack O'Connor missed a bear with a mag full because when they checked the tracks , he were shooting at a younger, smaller bear than what he thought, so he shot over it
