Default RE: Why did this deer expire so fast?

ORIGINAL: Rob/PA Bowyer

There is no way I could have sat there watching it for 2 minutes, I would have had a second arrow in it seconds after the first one.

My heart shot buck expired in a mere 10 seconds at most, went 50 yards max. 2 minutes is a LONG time. I'm surprised you didn't shoot it again.
I've had heart/lung shot deer run 30-40 yards and fall over dead. I know that a deer can run a 40 faster than any NFL player ( even BigJ71 ), so that's about 4 seconds. However, when I tell people how fastit died I usually say 10 seconds also.
