RE: Small deer die faster?
Siman I have no dog in this fight.....but what he's saying is what a LOT of us are probably thinking.
A heart shot deer ......under normal circumstances....will be dead in SECONDS. Adding injury to injury, by cutting said animal's throat, and it takes only a few seconds to bleed out that way, as well.
It simply sounds..........."far-fetched" (being nice with the designtion).
