[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1460929, member: 10755"] I have shot and recovered sambar stags here with healed over bullet wounds in a lung/lungs, shoulder(s), hips and a few with lower leg injuries which obviously aren’t fatal. The worst was a wily old malform stag that had 4 Nosler 30 cal ballistic tips in one shoulder that had a full callous type encasement around each bullet that hadn’t penetrated the bone, then the opposite shoulder had 2 27 cal unknown bullets as well as about an inch of arrow shaft and a broadhead that had only just passed through the shoulder bone. How this stag had survived all those injuries must have been sheer luck. I recovered a sambar hind with one lung so covered in scar tissue that the bullet wound must have got terribly infected, it had less than half of a working lung, but she showed no sign of being unhealthy. There is plenty of evidence that a lung hit is completely survivable, even a double lung hit. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
