Well she ran about 80 yards and I honestly did not think I hit her until I went to check for blood and hair. She showed no sign of being hit. No blood for 25-30 yards, then massive blood spray on both sides of the trail. Found her and she was still alive, could not believe it. Like I said shot was quartering away, destroyed the liver and back edge of the lungs, as well as grazing the front of the paunch. The paunch looked as if a scalpael had just very neatly opened a small incision on the front of it.

My brother in-law actually called me to say he could see her and she was dead. Watched her just stop running and fall over. Then he said nope she lifted her head up after laying on her side for over a minute and not moving. Weird to say the least, she did expire shortly afterwards. I have to say that these animals never cease to amaze me. Some seem to fall over with just the slightest of wounds and others can be run over by a truck and keep on going.

My father in-law shot a doe about 30 minutes after this one with a .44 Mag at 30 yards, destroyed the heart(looked like jelly)and one front shoulder and she still went 100 yards.
