I understand you guys not believing my story, but I swear it is true. Now, I will fully admit that the buck that lived 6 hours was a back of both lungs slice and not a full punch through and obviously wasn't a great shot. However, the 9 point my dad shot in 1991 in Vinton county Ohio went (guesstimated here) 1.5 miles. He was shooting 125gr Thunderheads (3-blade). It was a miracle he found that deer as it piled up under a bush. Both lungs had been punched clean through. Not looking at entry/exit holes, looking at the lungs upon gutting the deer.

You can call me a liar and I wouldn't really blame you b/c if I didn't know any better I would be thinking the same thing, but it happened. I can't explain it but it happened.

When my father worked in the ER he also treated a man who had been shot in the head at point blank range with a .22 and he was sitting up talking. The bullet entered right between the eyes, just above the eyebrows and lodged in the back of his head. He should have died but he didn't. Anything is possible... just improbable.
