RE: Traditional Bow Question
All it takes is 6 inches in a vital organ and the deer will drop, it might run 25 or 100 yrds .but it will lay down and die.
It is up to the hunter to alow the animal enough time to lay down, if you follow it quickly it will keep on running, even with compound bows only about 2% of deer will drop right there.
Unless you hit the spine all wounded animals will run off.
