A single lunged deer can travel well over 10 miles and generally does.
A large percentage of one lunged deer survive.
I had seen plenty of deer one lunged and walking about within the week.
I have also seen lots of kills where the scaring on the lung is very visible and the cause obvious.
This year I have seen three deer that were one lunged and then taken within two weeks after the fact during cull hunts.
Lmao! Yes a single lung hitdeer can survive, its been proven by people on here from time to time!
But you say they generaly travelwell over 10 miles and a high percentage survive a one lung shot? I've heard it all now!!! 9 times out of 10 a one lunghitwill knock em down just fine. I've been on many many bloodtrails through out the yearsand i've seen 1 one lung deer live till the next day soit can happen but not very often. Heck i've seen elk, moose, bear, go 200 yards and fold up on a 1 lung hit and these animals have alot bigger lung capacity then a deer! I'm guessing the deer your talking about were never even lung shots, just a good excuse to blame the problem somewhere else!
