i can see where a non expanded or non-fragmented shot piercing the heart and leaving a perfect pencil hole through and through on the heart, and a deer runnin 100 yards....but i am imagining a heart that has been basically exploded by a bullet, and 1/2 of it blew apart.
i have heart shot a bunch of animals, and they drop, right in their tracks...just jelly was left.
i have nicked the heart before, leaving just a lil tear, and the deer ran 40-60 yards.
my buddy shot a deer, not even close to the heart. she dropped in her tracks. when we opened her up, there was a piece of bone that had plunged into the heart, we believe thats what killed her instantly.
