Default RE: Double lung shot

This past fall I shot an adult doe at 18 yards. I thought I had a perfect double lung hit, but she ran about 350 yards out into a field, and I saw her bed down. I snuck out, and came back an hour later. She was dead where I last saw her. There was a terrific blood trail. When I field dressed her, I saw I had hit only one lung and the heart. I have never had a double lung hit deer go further than 60 yards. A deer can go a ways on a single lung or heart shot.
