RE: Lung Shot and Still survive????????
Deer can survive on one lung. I have seen one. A friend of mine shot a doe that had one lung collapsed and one lung fine. Now, the point has to be made as to how much of the lung is hit. If an arrow centers one lung and not the other, I would tend to think that the hemorage would be enough to kill the animal eventually. However, if one lung is just sliced, and it deflates, the hemorage may not be great enough to cause the animal to bleed out. The only thing I know for sure is that a deer can survive on one lung...I guess I am just trying to add fuel to the fire.

If the picture is real, I'd be willing to bet that arrow isn't in the lungs. Where he hit the back bone is wide and the ribs close. Looks like the deer was angling hard away. From the angle, I'd say he rode right on top of the ribs and it stopped. I honestly don't think it's in the lungs at all. Can't say the pictue is or isn't real. What's with all the white area around the arrow on the deers hide. I mean, it's a 10 inch white area.
