Liver shot
I am not a young hunter but I just got my license and just tagged out my first ever deer. I am just curious about the fatality of liver shot deer as that was what I got on mine.
When the buck only got a foot or two when I hit it I was assuming he was either lung or heart shot but when we were field dressing it turned out he was liver shot.
Anyway, I was told liver shot deer acted like gut shot ones? Where they take off and bed down not too far away but he was dead by the time we walked the 250 yards to him. Is that only with archery? Or minor damage because there was only a little less than half of the liver intact? We couldn't even find the entry and exit wounds until he was skinned because there was no blood except internally. Unless I hit a heart vein too but I didnt notice.
It is just kind of shocking. I am glad he didn't end up taking a long time to die.
