If I was 100% that I only got one lung with no other organ, I would get on it after about 20 minutes.
I'm curious Bob, please expound.
I would suspect that pushing the animal would keep the lung from clotting and possibly healing. It has been said on here ( I have no experience of my own on this) that single lung hits can heal or that a deer can survive a single lung hit (live with one lung?) so maybe pushing and causing more bleeding and exertion would hasten and ensure death. The one thing I would worry about is how could you be sure that you only got one lung and no other organ.
