Really?

While I suppose that you can generalize a bit, deer are weird animals and do weird things.

Tracked a double lunged deer my dad shot 200 yards year before last. Ample blood, in SNOW, and yet the deer ran more than you say they will/should.

Had there been no snow and had we backed out and left the deer overnight, the coyotes would have devoured it. We don't all have the luxury of backing off of what seems like a marginal hit.

I can appreciate the post, but the generalization doesn't hold water for ALL people in ALL places.
