What i' m saying is two people i hunt with on a regular basis, they shoot well, all the deer were hit in the kill zone (heart/lung) and i promise you they ran.......In 5 yrs only two dropped dead. One was a head shot the other in the spine, the rest ran like they weren' t even touched according to my two friends. I understand alot of factors determine whether they drop or run but , I mean every deer they shot..........I' m going with the bullet now that i hear other stories about the Core-lockt. ......They never switched bullets they completely changed calibers.One now shoots a 25-06 the other a 7mm.



I shot a deer last year with my 30-06,.........200yd shot through the lungs,165gr boatail. It knocked him down, he got up and ran almost 300yds! I found blood really good for about 40yds, then a big pile where he apparently laid down. In that pile a piece of lung the size of a fifty cent piece! Then not another drop of blood. I had three different people look ...........NOTHING...Finally three days later with the help of some buzzards we found him!.....So i know some just have a very strong will to live , but everyone ya shoot running 100yds or more after being shot through the heart or lungs is piteful.

P.S. By the way i have never had a deer other than that one run that far with my 30-06 and it always knocks em' down, most of the time they never get up.
