Dakotah- I think you are missing the point, deer do go and live on with high non lethal shots. A friend of mine wounded a 6-pter (big one) by Crookston and then 6 weeks later another friend shot the same buck and it looked real healthy except for a few scabby wounds.

It happens quite often, whether people want to believe it or not. I can' t explain it.

To be sure aim low from now on, or if you feel like testing the theory shoot em high!
