Double lung, deer went about 60 yards, out of sight.

shot at 0730. I had to drop the kids off at school and we like to give them some time to bleed out so we started the track at 0830. Deer was in the garage skinned and we were eating heart by 0930. A good morning for him! (Dad, I mean, not the deer!)

My youngest boy sure was excited.
