Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting So, when you lung shoot a deer...

With much consistency the deer run about 70 yds before piling up after a double lung shot where I hunt. These are generally hit at fairly high velocity with 243's or 270's at 100yds or so. I went to a slower load and a larger, softer bullet (140 grain Gameking out of my 260 at proabably +/- 2750) and am getting strait drops with the small sampling to date. Have had one deer stand after being hit with a 270 and another by a 7mag as if not realizing what happened. They dropped in a matter of three seconds or so - or about the same time it takes them to run the 70 yds. Seemes a loss of blood pressure thing. Just my experience on the smallish Tx whitetails and moderate sized axis deer FWIW.
