Liver shot seem very deadly
Took my first deer of the year. It was big mature doe. Hunting southwest Texas.
Anyway long story short she heard me draw and started to walk away and I let it fly, 22-25yd shot.
It looked to me that I hit a little high, she run off and I seen her stop and then walk off.\
Well I checked the time. 7.15 pm at 7.18 I heard some kicking in the rocks in her direction like she went down and was kicking .
Went back to camp for some good flashlights and waited to till 8.00. Went back to track her and followed a blood trail 40 yds right to her.
Hit a little far back, I suspected liver. Upon cleaning her I did hit her liver and some stomach. But she expired within minutes.
Some years ago I had basically the same hit on a buck and he went 10 yds and collapsed, dead. Again liver shot.
My friend took a buck 2 weeks ago with a strong quartering away shot, again liver shot . Buck went 80 yds and collapsed dead.
Sure seems like the liver shot is very deadly.
Whats your take on it and expierences.
Seems at least there is a little room for error on a broadside shot, which is a good thing.
