[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2855973, member: 101791"] I have had more than one go over a hundred yards with heart shots. the one thing I noted and it was pointed out to me. Is the deer generally runs and doesn't bounce. with their head level with their back. I had one that I hit in the heart and it ran about 40yds. Stop and I hit it again in the liver. Then it's head went to the ground and started backing up laborly. Fell over dead. My friend told be to shot again. I said no it was hit in the liver. He said the deer kick lke mule the first time. I told him I hit the deer in the heart the first time then. He told me I couldn't tell that. No I can tell. Open the deer up and both the heart and liver were hit with separate shots. Most of my deer were taken with a 25/06. [/QUOTE]
