(1) I would have made a clean kill shot so I wouldn't have so much trouble tracking a deer. If I wouldn't have had the shoot I wouldn't have taken it
Even with a clean shot they don't drop in their tracks. I've had them run over 150 yards with no lungs left. I shot a doe with a rifle a few years ago and there was pieces of lung on the tree behind where she was standing and she still ran 150 yards. When we cleaned her her lungs were complete mush.
