Default RE: Some intersting things about deer.

Shoot at relaxed deer at the right moment and it usually solves that problem. Hit them in the right spot when they don't suspect anything and they don't know what hit them half the time. Sometimes they don't even run away.

At least that's what I have seen.

I will agree, these things have incredible undurance. The first one I shot I got one lung and the heart but didn't get a pass thru (light set up and spitfires, I was ignorant and didn't know better). That freakin deer ran non stop until it keeled over in mid run. Ran about 400 yards, maybe more. I switched to a cut on contact and heavier arrows and the next year I shot one at about the same distance (18 yards) and the arrow zipped right thru it. The deer ran about 10 yards and stopped to look around wondering what happened. It took a few more steps and fell over.
