Deer hunting.is this even possible?

ok so i went deer hunting and shot a 12 pointer tracked it down got it right. i shot it right throught the heart and lungs is that possible? and another thing is it ran 2 miles how is that possible with no lungs or heart? i also shot a doe with my bow lol im a rapper! and dropped it in 10 yards with heart shot whats up here?Deer hunting.is this even possible?
I have to admit I'm skeptical. However, assuming that your projectile (you don't say if it's a bullet, slug, arrow, whatever) really did go through one lung, the heart, and the other lung, and the deer really did run two miles, this is my best guess:





Even within the heart/lung ';kill zone';, there's going to be some variation in terms of how fast the blood loss brings the animal down. Say your shot just nicks the heart, instead of shattering it, for example, and the lungs don't collapse. Then the deer will still get some blood pumped to the muscles until it bleeds out, which could take minutes rather than seconds. At about 30 miles an hour, the deer would only need to keep running for 4 minutes to cover two miles. But could even a highly adrenalinized animal keep running at full speed for that long with massive blood loss? It would at least be highly unusual.Deer hunting.is this even possible?
That didn't really happen. A deer cannot run 2 miles when the heart and lungs are all destroyed. It is not physically possible. If one of the lungs or the heart is shot, then it is possible. Also, the heart is in front of the lungs, so you would have had to shoot it from directly in front or behind to hit all three, which would still be hard because the lungs lay next to each other. So it would be almost impossible to shoot through all three unless the bullet was deflected by bone and came back into the vitals.


I think this did not happen.
Well Dusty, here's the deal. I've killed an awful lot of deer in my lifetime, with both gun and bow. When I made a good hit (heart-lung area) with either a gun or bow, a deer will usually run from 50 to 150 yards on average.Very few would drop in their tracks, but it does happen on occasion. However, none have ever ran over 200 yards when hit in the heart-lung area. But when you are blood trailing sometimes it seems as if the deer ran for a mile, especially when trailing at night. But if you actually measured the distance it would be under 200 yards. I think you are just a little mistaken about the distance. Or perhaps you are mistaken about where the bullet hit the deer at. There were many times I would have bet every dollar I had on where I had hit a deer at.And sometimes I was completely wrong. But congratulations on your 12 pointer, and hats off to your great tracking job, no matter how far it actually was.
You shot it with an arrow? If so that is probably your answer. An arrow has absolutely no shocking power and the deer has to bleed out to die. That buck was running on pure adrenaline. You see a man gets shot, stabbed whatever and he knows what has happened and so he drops. An animal has no idea what's going on and so it runs, and runs, and runs... The doe just didn't go into adrenaline overdrive and so it dropped sooner. For this reason I use a .25-06 Remington or larger caliber deer rifle. I've only had one deer run and that shot just took out the heart completely missing the lungs (it must have exhaled) and it ran 110 yards. Now I try for neck shots only.





H
I smell a tall tail. All those organs dont line up. It would have to walk right at you...if you shot it head on the heart is almost right between the 2 lungs, so you could only hit the heart and one of the lungs. There is is way to hit both lungs front on.If you shot it from the side the heart sits in front of the lungs, the you`ll either hit jsut the heart or both lungs....c`mon kid we`ve been doing this for year. And then for it to run 2 miles? Do you know what 2 miles is in the woods? depending on terrain sometimes 200 yards feels like 2 miles.
yes its possible you complete moron. When you hit a deer with a deadly projectile, it gets awfully excited and this thing called ';adrenaline'; pumps throughout the rest of the deers body. The deer can then run away, even though you may have just shot it in the heart or lungs.
i depends on the caliber you have to make sure the bullet can take the animal down i never had a problem with a 30-06 or you might have just clipped the lungs but they will run a little when you heart shoot them but double lung shot never goes for more than 50 yds tops
I am terribly sorry, but that never really happened the way you told your story.* It would be physically impossible for any animal to have traveled that far with that type of wound or injury.* You are fibbing, and its not even April first yet.*
an animals nervous system will continue to react, even after it is dead. That is how the term';running around like a chicken with it's head cut off'; came about. My sister used to work in a funeral home. She told us alot of stories of bodies suddenly sitting up, brrr
G'day mate all i can say is you must of shot it at a distance and the bullet didn't go deep enough and it bled to death while trying to get away.Or y didn't hit it right and it was near the area of the lungs and heart.cheers mate
And how do you know this? You could of just missed them and only shot in the general vicinity of where the vital organs would be. Cause there's no way it would of been able to run that far or even survive for that long.
It's possible. I knew someone who shot a deer 3 times in the head with 12ga magnum slugs and the damn thing was still trying to get back up. He ended up finishing it off by clubbing it over the head with a tree branch.
If the bullet only scratched the heart or grazed the lungs but did not collapse them or failed to expand upon impact (if you were using FMJ instead of soft pointed rounds or ballistic tips), then I don't see how the deer could run 2 miles before dying.
I tell ya what's up, the 12 point story is BS, or you don't know a deer's internal organs. The doe story is believable. Could be you're a rapper and spinner of tall tales.
i do not believe you either. I have shot 2 bucks and 3 does all in the heart except my first doe I shot it in the neck in the neck and the farest they have ran was about 55 yards.
where are you hunitin i want to go there your a very good hunter i killed a 12 and a 7 pointer in the same dday but back to the question yes its possible but its very rare good huntin
It certainly wouldnt have ran 2 miles, but it may have ran 2-300 yards.
no on the 12 pt. yes on the doe in the fog of tracking 2 miles is out there
I dont believe you.
