[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1727793, member: 68875"] None of the less than optimal shots were mine or family members. But I have witnessed others making the shots. Results have been mixed. One was just a high/too far back spine shock, the deer ended up getting it's legs back under him after about 1 minute and 3 missed follow up shots, and was gone. One was a gut shot that hit the liver and was fatal fairly quickly. Bull went about 40 yards, bedded, and was left to expire quickly. The guy could not get a shooting lane for a follow up, and did not want to spook him into running again. One was a shot low/way too far back, but the deer only went 50 yards before piling up. Shot hit the femoral artery internally, and I was called to come help look due to no blood. Found him the next morning. Body cavity was like a water balloon filled with blood. [/QUOTE]
