If a human can survive after having a chest tube in one lung and the other lung collapsed than whycant a deersurvive after having a hole in both of there lungs?

I think he was probaly tellin the truth, hell, last year on rt97 I saw a doe get almost cut in half buy a minivan and it still lived for 3 hrs til the dnr came.

A true dbl lung deer, and I mean perfectly hit both lungs no doubt about it kind of lung hit, the deer will live tops 10 seconds, tops. If you hit a deer this way, most of the time you watch them die. Noone on herehas made a true dbl lunger and have the deer go 1.5 miles. It is not possible.now rip me open for this one....

They can cover a lot ground, but it will be at a dead run over fairly short amount of time. I highly doubt a double lung shot deer is going to keep moving for 4 hours. I don't think he made as good a shot as he thinks he did.

I suppose if one hits a buck double lung it could run aways I have seen that but four hours is impossible

I rifle hunt with a 30-06 150 gr bullets. I shot a 210# buck 4 years ago. the first bullet hit him facing me in the center of the brisket. He ran about 30 yds and stopped. I walked closer and could see his head and front shoulders. I shot him again behind the front shoulder. I later found out he was quartering away hard. The bullet entered just in front of the hind quarter and traveled forward thru the guts. He didn't even flinch! I circled around and assumed he must be hung up on something. When I got broadside to him I realized he was just standing there. I shot him again broadside thru the lungs and he took off running. He went about 50 yds and layed down. He was just sitting there looking around. I walked up to within a few feet and he jumped up and ran again! He went about 30 yds and layed down again. This time he was too sick to get up. If this didn't happen to me I don't think I would believe it. They can be tough critters!
PS I switched to premium loads

DOuble Lung they got about 5 seconds of air! No if and or buts about it!
Exactly my thoughts... I've shot deer that I thought were double lunged and went a long way. I was WRONG!!! It's not physically possible.

Who was it that shot the deer in the heart last year and it lived like a day? He had pics too....

Before you all call foul....All double lung hits are NOT equal, if you ever dressed a few deer you know that. My guess(and that is all it is) is that he hit the upper portion of both lungs....a deer can survive a long time that way.

I watched a buck last season take a .50 cal HP muzzleloader bullet through pretty much the middle of both lungs AND blow the complete top off of its heart....and run a full 210 yards before piling up. Rare and suprising, yes, but never say never.
