Deer are tough animals

Didn't you start to build a jet boat?
Did you finish it?

Cheers

It is an "Airboat"
Yes, I started it 3 years ago and still working on it.
Started with an old VW bug motor and flat sheets of Aluminum.
Still improving it...
Probably needs more power but it's fun to dink with.

I shot a buck several years ago that was obviously limping. Turned out he was missing a front leg from the knee. Had happened awhile ago (probably hit by a car) since his off side antler was abnormal, as is usually the case with such injuries. Tough indeed.

Humans are so fragile compared to animals. Imagine taking a bullet through both lungs or even the heart and still running off.

Talk to some military or LE guys. My guess is that you’d find that it happens with humans too.

 

[ImBillT]

You can blow a broadhead thru both lungs and they still can run 400 yards sometimes.
I wouldn't make it ten feet.

If it’s dull, they don’t always die!

Bill.................Yes, that's true but they aren't being hit with a .338 mag. I'm not sure they run off at top speed either with a heart turned to mush.

I will agree a human can take a lot of gunshots and survive. Some of them a lot more than others.

This poor red hind, she was on her own, which raised suspicions that something wasn't right, she ran about 50 yards after the shot and keeled over, she was just skin and bone, the oldest hind I have every shot.

Had a deer in my neighborhood that must have been hit by a car but survived for at least two years with a fractured hind leg that had bone sticking out.
