the deer may tuck its tail and bull doze through the woods....These are heart and lung shots...

Deer reaction is a very important key to understand after the shot...

..........we all know when that arrow truly made its mark..

Crash, bang, boom,...the woods is silent...you made a heart/lung shot



I'd have to dissagree,if this statement were true, about tucking tail, bulldozing, and hitting every limb, branch, and tree from the ground up to about 4 foot off the ground then everything goes silent...I'd be sitting in front of a 140 class buck2 weeks ago. When I seen how that deer reacted, I thought I smoked him based on those same observations, only to find5 yards long of spotty blood. But we looked for about a hour around the last blood then came back in the morning, found another few areas of drops of blood more than 1/4 mile from the previous spot of blood. I had freakin tears in my eyes from dissapointment, shock and asking myself "Why..what did I do wrong...asking myself why I even bother hunting to begin with". I looked everywhere I possibly could. But turned up nothing.

Point is, in most cases yes, they may be true, but not in all. Every deer is different and reacts different.
