Thanks.

I caught the meaning, no worries.;) I have not got after the hogs yet, but ive taken out three. Ate one at a campout. Pit roasted it. The second got cured and given to a friend, and the last will be eaten at another campout. Ive cured the hams, back strap, and loin and will smoke them Sat. Emmmmmm.

I hit a doe a few days back, hit rib #6 and angled back (she jumped the string towards me) through one lung, liver, guts, and out the ham

5 hours later, still alive, a second arrow finished it.

compare that to my buddy, who hit a doe, angled away, broadhead sliced on the OUTSIDE of the rib cage, down into the leg, severing an artery and she bled out in about 300 yards in a few minutes

I dn't want to be the bad guy here, but with a hole through the heart, I don't care how strong the deer is, she's not gonna live that long, relaxed or not.

Amazing story. I totally believe you. With deer, as with most of life, you don't rule anything out, don't take anything for granted.

My brother shot a big doe with his 30-06 a couple years ago. 40 yard shot, broadside or quartering, definitely a solid hit, the deer spun and staggered, stood with legs splayed and head lowered. He then hit her again, this time quartering away, she bolted about 40 yards and went down. He waited about 15 minutes to approach the deer, it was mid afternoon and there was no rush. It got up and bolted away. I showed up a half hour later, we trailed it and jumped it again, had to shoot it again.

I want to believe you but it sounds pretty unbelieveable. Are you certain you didn't tear the heart or cut it with you knife while gutting it?

Seems like if you caught any part of the heart she couldn't have lived that long.

Maybe she had a reason to live.

This aint my first rodeo. Ive gutted more animals than I can even remember. Did not nick the heart.

When my dad was in his 20's when he put four 12 gauge slugs into a buck that was in full rut. The thing just kept going after the first, second, and third shots. All the shots were in the chest, the forth one went right through the shoulder, keeping him from going any further. My dad still has all four slugs that he dug out of the ribs and shoulders. It amazes me what this animals are capable off.
