royak, congrats on your deer. And a big pat on the back for not giving up. I have had the same thing happen to me many times on a double lunger. Most won't go as far as yours did, but I believe you 100%. Question though, did the deer travel a fairly straight line, and was its path fairly open (not going through heavy brush etc.). One thing to note from my experience with these non-bleeding double lung hits is that they seem to travel fairly straight from the spot they were last seen (they do circle, but not sharply), and the blood that is found is often a spray, or fine mist, not droplets.
