Okay, was conversing with a couple of my Son's buddies last night via texting... One of the guy's hit a good buck and they were searching for it and asking questions since they were at their witts end not finding any blood once it got out into a been/alfalpha field.... I told them too grid search the field and walk the edges of it after that and if no blood back off until the morning and hit it again.... Well the grid search did it and they retrieved it but it had gone over 200 yards after getting a good hit????
Got me too thinking whenever I've gotten a good hit on a deer it's gone usually about 50 yards or so and then piled up... The longest I had one go is about 100 yards with a double long shot and I was amazed at that (try holding your breath and do a full out sprint....) So with that said what do you guy's typically and ai guess non-typically see for a so called good shot the distance for them too drop????
The doe I got this year went 30 yards from the shot and piled up and it was a right lung and heart shot.....
So opinions/experiance Please.....
