How is this possible? Ok, a gut shot can never be 100% fatal, but yes te percentage is very high. (I would say maybe 98%) Why is it more likeley that you will recover that deer shot with this "pod". I don't know much about it, and don't want to know anything about it. So what, if you gut shoot a deer, it is going to run 750 yards, instead of 800? Them chances are probably less than finding the actual deer that had the chance to survive.
