RE: what the hell is going on
similarly, I took a friend on his first hunt this weekend. He shot a doe with my 30-30 at 70 yds. The deer went down, got up quickly walked 20 yards and laid down next to a tree. I told my frined to stay for a while and let her die. 5 minutes later she got up and started slowly walking away. He shot and hit again and she went down for good.
When we got there the first shot was a perfect double lung midway up the animal right behind the shoulder. The second was a lower shot exploding the heart.
It was amazing to see that animal get up after bedding down for a few minutesfrom a double lung
