[QUOTE="Allen, post: 355227, member: 389"] I had a similar experience with a WT doe. There were at least 6 in the party that watched me shoot her broadside, we all heard the whack. She turned and walked into the trees around an old farmstead and we spent a good portion of the next couple hours looking for her. Never did find her and the only thing we could surmise is she walked through the trees and once on the other side she bolted across 400+ yds of barren ground. After I shot, my buddy even exclaimed "that's a dead deer". I suppose she eventually died, but we walked that countryside all day and never ran across her again. Same buddy blasted a WT doe with his 300 Win Mag that afternoon, she never even flinched after he shot. After her and her friends bolted before he could take another shot, we all gave him a hard time for missing a standing still broadside at ~100 yds. Her I found a short time and some 400+ yds later, bedded down with her liver hanging out the far side. There are times when deer can absorb some incredible punishment. I'm not sure what kind of ammo he was using, but the carnage was incredible as she had a fist sized hole for an exit wound. [/QUOTE]
