I found the deer the nexy morning and the "autopsy" confirmed that I caught the back of both lungs.
O.K. then only catching the back of both lungs is not a great hit then is it? You could have done better right?
I maintain that an arrow placed properly in the boiler room will cause the deer to expire in seconds. I have shot a lot of whitetails through both lungs and NONE of them have gone more than 80 to 100 yards and were dead in less than 30 seconds. I simply don't believe hunters when they tell me they double lunged a deer and then jumped the deer an hour later. Sorry. I'm not saying they aren't telling what they believe is the truth. I just think they are mistaken. I've seen guys who wouldn't even know what the lungs look like.
