1. Unless you witness a double lung pass through, I firmly believe to let an animal go for a couple hours rather than the common misconception of a half hour wait. Too many times a half hour isn't enough. The only shots that put an animal down quickly are double lung hits and heart shots. If you don't see your animal fall within site, your best bet is to wait it out.
I am going to have to concure with you on that one i made a horribly good shot on a whitetail this weekend it was not great but he was down with in a minute and only went 70 yards. I hit him in the femoral(sp) artary i had good blood the whole time. so there are other places to hit a deer and put them down fast, the lungs and heart are just the best place to aim.
You do know concure means agree?
