I’ve got my fingers crossed that he’s still alive but I’ll be looking for buzzards for the next couple weeks. I’m gonna go shoot a half dozen does now until I get my confidence back up.
Is the idea here being that if you only got one lung, the deer might survive? I'm not challenging that, but it would surprise me.
