Very nice deer indeed! Thank you for sharing...
And I can relate to the toughness of these animals, because I had the same thing happen to me. Double lunger and top of heart blown off but he still ran the 100 yard dash in about 4 seconds. Then slid about 20 yards when he died in mid gallop. It was astonishing, like you said of your event.

Absolutely correct about how tuff these deer can be sometimes. Made me remember a doe i shot with a MZL years ago on a farm a farmer needed thinning out. Doe came out 30 yards away i blew up her heart literally gone, not 1 recognizing part left and still made it 65 yards. Unbelievable
Great hunt and shot. He will look amazing on the wall. Congrats brother well done.

A wonderful buck and a fine shot! It's not un common at all for heart or lung shot deer to run amazing distances, regardless of caliber. There are many nerve bundles running through the chest. If the right one gets hit, it's a drop on the spot. If no major bundles get hit, the animals Adrenalin keeps it going until bled out, too low blood pressure, starves the brain of oxygen, lights go off and a consequential collapse follows.

Tough as nails. 50 cal through the heart and doe
still ran 50yards.
White tails, especially the bigger bucks don't know their dead. They just don't get it.
I once sat under an apple tree on a fence line, and an 8 pt. buck came in and from 15 yards, I put a shotgun slug in his boiler room.
I was so close, I could see smoke come out the other side of him.
He still ran 40 yards into a thicket where I found another apple tree that was hidden.
This season, I shot a doe with a .300 win mag right through the heart. She still managed to run 20 yards and dive off a cliff
where it took me 20 minutes to even find her.
See the picture of where the two does on the left were shot. One went boom flop. The other ran 20 yards and dived.
White tails are very tough animals.
