If you want the deer to drop in their tracks then either shoot them in the spine or through the high shoulder. If you don't want to do this then expect the deer to run off a short distance.
I guess we can thank the hunting shows for the general hunting public expecting that their bullets should be some kind of magical lightning strike where the animal just gives up the ghost right there. The fact is most animals run a short distance.
I absolutely agree!
DEER DO NOT ALWAYS JUST HIT THE DIRT AND DIE!
I've killed more than my share of deer and I know without question that there is NO magic cartridge or bullet that will put every deer down 100% of the time.
Any cartridge or bullet produces that produces the results you are experiencing is FINE! Absolutely fine. You have nothing to worry about.
Sir you are seeking an answer to something you do not have a question or need to ask. This is great news for you as you are doing just fine.
I wish you CONTINUED success!!!
God bless.
