Amazingstory... she must have had some kind of defect or something that allowed her to live on a small amount of oxygen, or her blood clotted more than mostdeer. These deer are way stronger than most people know... I had a buddy take a running shot at a nice 8 point a few years ago.. he said he hit it in the chest, it did a complete flip and laid there for a minute. As he walked up, it took off (left a blood trail spray the whole way) They followed it for 2 miles until it got into a neighbors woods that didn't allow hunting and would not let them retreive it. He was sick over the whole deal, as you can imagine. 3 weeks later during muzzleloader a different neighbor shot a really nice 8 point (netted 149) out of the area where the buck was last seen and noticed it had 2 spots with no hair. (just above the lungs, below the spine, between the ribs) One spot was small (size of a nickel) the othe side was almost as large as a billiard ball.In less than a month both the entrance hole and exit holes were sealed closed, but there was no hair over the wounds. I called my buddy and asked him if "his" buck from shotgun week was running from his left to his right when he shot? He answeed "how did you know that?" I informed him his buck was hanging in front of me in my neighbors barn! Unbelievable.
