beat,beat: shoot! no, wait. beat, beat: shoot! No wait. Darn, now I don' t know when to shoot. Lets see, figure a heatrate of 60 and I am shooting a 180 gr bullet 250 yards..... AAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Sounds interesting, but don' t help us much.
You know there are alot of theories and this may be true. Watch for the rangefinder/blood pressure indicator.
I am not sure on this as I have seen alot of deer drop in tracks, plenty dead before they hit... no twitch at all.
I have heard another theory relating to breathing and that makes sense as well. If you hit at the exhale, then there is less oxygen in the blood = DRT. If you hit right after the inhale, they can be dead but there is still oxygen in the blood = take off running.
Either way a good hit = death, and have at most seen a deer run about 50 yards then drop. If you make a solid heart/lung hit it is dying soon.
This is hunting, lets not make it too scientific,as it is already a simple concept. Good Hit = Die and either DRT, or a short run. Bad Hit = Possible death but a longer tracking job.
