Great post Rob!
Thank you, it's great from everyone.

I would like to ask though, what kind of hit would require you to "bleed out" a deer.
A major vein/aertery in the forward in the front shoulder, neck, hams. This would require arrow impact identification. If you know your not in the body cavity, you might need to push him to keep it bleeding.

Also, you were saying about a deers lungs working in a negative pressure environment, how does this make it possible for a deer to survive a single lung hit? Wouldnt both lungs collapse when the arrow penetrated the thoracic cavity?
A deer can actually survive from a double lung hit if it were up in the upper lobes and does not collapse the lungs or bleed enough. However, I think someone else made that post/reply about the pressure enviroment and your giving the credit to me.
