One year back in the '80s we were hunting in Wyoming. The lady who owned the ranch where we were hunting asked us if we used the hearts when we got a deer. Neither of us like heart so we agreed to give her ours.
I shot a deer and we passed the heart along as requested. The next day my buddy shot a buck in the neck. Can't remember whether the bullet exited or not. When the deer was opened up the heart was completely pulped but untouched by a bullet. All we could figure was that an artery had been hit and sent a pressure wave into the heart.
We gave the lady our apologies but not sure whether she believed us or not.
