The above photo are the lungs and a heart of a buck I shot a couple of years ago. The picture isn't the best but you can plainly see that the broadhead, in this case a Magnus Stinger, center punched one lung, cut open the other one, and past through the edge of the bucks heart. You can see the position of the broadhead on the heart. the two cuts on top and bottom are the bleeder blades and the long wound is the main blade.

I watched this buck run and lay down as I could see him clearly with mybino's from the stand. I timed it and he was alive more than fifteen minutes later. By the time I stalked into position to get another arrow in him he had expired.

More than likely the guy in the story didn't center punch the lungs, but strange things will and do occur out there. I never take anything for granted. I don't feel like the animal is really "done" until his vitals are laying next to him on the ground.[&:]
