In a couple days and many more miles from where the shot takes place yeah it can and most of the time should be a fatal shot... If you ever doubt the quality of a shot BACK OUT... Give plenty of time. The last thing you ever what to do is persue a injured deer.

tbyrnzy82, 99% of the time if a deer is "gut shot" it will die in 6-8 hours and 12 hours max. The best thing to do when you believe you have gut shot a deer is wait overnight. Usually if the deer has not been pushed or pressured you will find them within 250 yards from Point of impact.

I guess the answer your looking for would be in terms of diamenter if thats the case then the heart area would be no larger than a 4 in. circle and for lungs with the heart area inside it would be about an 8 in. werid shaped oval .
I hope this information gives you a better idea and good luck to you this season.
