Dan,
Yes, I have seen that as well.
But he was not an experienced hunter, and also not a great shot, as I noticed when witnessing him shoot. The only evidence that he shot the deer in the heart is his claim to have shot it in the heart. There was zero evidence that he'd even hit the deer.
Also, he'd only hunted deer in Pennsylvania, where the average success rate is 10%. Just from talking to him I could tell his success rate was no better than average--the reason he was so upset.
But my main point is that he firmly believed the fault lay in the .308 Winchester, which was ridiculous.
