What's your longest DBL Lung Recovery?
Just curious how far your farthest recovery on a Double lung shot deer was. My buddy shot a 6 point last night and double lunged it and it still went 150 yards. I thought that was odd. The farthest I have ever heard of a deer running (off the top of my head) with a double lung hit was 80 yards.
What about you guys?

Apprx. 150 yrds ..............and I thought it would never happen again ! But I have shot 3 this year that have made it over 100 yrds and the picture is of one that went 125+ yrds !
All this year I have paid close attention to them and heard them go down within a few seconds ! But they ran full blast until they died !
Failed to mention I have killed plenty that went down in 25-75 yrds ! Seems very odd that these 3 this year went as far as they did .........but !@$@ happens !

Where my buddy hunts they have super deer. The things won't die. I helped him track one two years ago. It went around and around that forest forever. We found it after hundreds of yards travelled. Perfect dbl lunger. Last year, same thing with a young buck, shot appeared perfect but took us forever to find it. Sunday afternoon he calls me, made a shot on a deer and can't find him. Of course I'm not surprised given the superdeer genetics those things must have. Couldn't help him due to kids Halloween stuff. He tracked it for ever back and forth through the creek and timber, never found him. By the way, this buddy is the best shot I've ever seen. Won or placed second in state games for years. He joked that he was going to start shooting them in the head from now on.
