Default RE: Double lung shot

stickerpt I am not going to say it is impossible for a double lunged deer to live an hour, but it is highly unlikely. Now what GForce said is very true, the distance a deer can travel in a short amount of time with its heart blown and its lungs wasted is hard to fathom, but adreneline does some amazing things. For the life of me though I can not envision how a deer double lunged could live an hour unless one lung was just nicked. Once you have truely double lunged a deer the lungs collapse, they suffocate quickly, to say they can go for an hour without oxygen I don't buy.
