[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 332774, member: 1485"] Guy's a scientist. It's in his blood to ask questions. Valid, IMHO. I'd also think that 30 minutes seems particularly long for most warm-blooded critters to survive with a .30-caliber sized bullet (or somewhere abouts) exploding through both lungs. But as he surmised, maybe this is normal for moose because they're such tough critters? Everyone has basically admitted that NPOs video does a much better job, and answers a lot of lingering questions, that the first video did not. I don't think it's wrong to question and/or admire the fact that a moose can take a rifle slug to the lungs and not die relatively quickly. What's the harm in asking, anyway? Isn't that how we learn? Telling people to keep their thoughts to themselves and just go along with the crowd is about the worst thing we can do for hunting and the outdoors. Because if we (actual hunters) have these questions and thoughts, lord knows what a non-hunter might think. As polarizing as we are these days with politics and whatnot, it never hurts to try to set aside your preconceived notions and look at a subject through someone else's eyes. Food for thought.
