[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 334557, member: 10178"] Some deer are just tough. I have shot deer through both shoulders and still had them make the 50 yard or so dash. I shot a deer last year at 111 yards with a 155 Berger VLD from my 30X47 HBR at 2650 fps as squarely through both shoulders as possible. The deer seemed not even to flinch but just took off into a very thick cut over. When I got to the spot the deer was standing when I shot it you could see blood and lung tissue scattered for about 5 yards on the off side. That deer was found about 50 yards away. It had a hole in it's off side that you could drop a base ball into. I have shot deer with a 7mm Rem mag through the shoulders and they would run a 100 yards. When you find them you could about mash the shoulders together they are so broke up and destroyed. Then there are those deer shot that drop dead so fast that they just look like they have layed down. There feet and legs are under them and they don't even fall over. [/QUOTE]
