Default RE: Heart or lungs?

I' ve taken several that way, but all were a result of the deer not moving at the shot. I try to aim at the heart or just above when I think the deer will be moving at the bow noise. If they drop you get all lungs. IF they don' t you get heart.

I' d rather have lungs. On several of the heart shots the deer hardly bled at all. Of course none of them went terribly far, but you still like to have blood. I wouldn' t do it, but there are a lot on this board who would assume it was a bad hit with little or no blood and back out when the deer is dead just over the next blowdown. When you skewer the heart it can stop quick and if it does, there' s no blood flowing. On a lung shot it' s flowing and the heart keeps pumping it out.
