RE: Recovery, What to do after the shot.
Thanks for that post, I never knew a single lung hit on a deer could take 4 hours to do its job. I always thought a single lung would expire an animal in less than an hour.
A friend of mine made a steep angle shot on a nice buck. He was so sure of the shot that he called his dad to turn on the freezer, then went back to follow the blood, he waited about an hour and a half. He followed the trail about 75 yards then the blood turned around and came back past his stand (the deer must have came back after my friend left) he followed the blood about thirty more yards then the blood just stopped. Well for the next three days there were five guys walking that woods looking for that deer but no luck. My friend has killed some big deer and knows were the lungs are and was so sure this deer was dead on it' s feet as soon as the arrow hit, but must have been a one lunger. I wonder if that deer would have been on the wall if given another couple hours?
