A Buck runs 1.5 Miles on a Double Lung Hit!
 
This past fall, I headed north to Saskatchewan to chase big Canadian whitetails. On the last day, I got an opportunity and made what I thought was a pretty good shot. Over the years, between my own critters, my kids, family and friends, as well as clients that I've guided, I have been on hundreds of recoveries. But.... just about the time you think you've seen it all, something like comes up and surprises you. This is one of the most interesting recoveries. I have been on in terms of shot placement and how far the deer went.


Hope it's something that you can learn from and also enjoy!

I have not watched the video yet. But I've also tracked a couple hundred deer and I don't even like retelling some of the stories because allot of people don't believe them. I've seen hard hit deer go an impressive distance.

Sometimes they fall over dead and sometimes they make it a long way.

It is crazy how far they can take even a decent hit, and then other times die quicker than one would expect!

I just watched your video and I am thinking that the wolves jumped him off his bed. Because without being pushed he should have expired on his bed. But, most definitely a real nice buck congrats..

Wow. That's a long way for a double lung. Must have been one tough deer. Good tracking job though. Thanks for sharing. Always learning.
