[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 873521, member: 39547"] I've got to agree with everyone else on this one. Just depends on the animal, I've seen deer his through the shoulders or right behind the shoulder near perfect shots that drop and a few that were runners. Caliber seems not to be a factor I've personally dropped deer with a 243 shooting factory 100gr loads at 300yd and seen similar shot's with a 300 weatherby the animal ran several hundred yards before expiring. It really does depend on the actual animal some are just more stubborn or tougher than the others. Maybe it has to do with the adrenaline surge they get when hit? If they come in all keyed up for a fight or all nervous I'm by no means a deer whisperer but would make some sense to me. [/QUOTE]
