Last deer I shot 10 years ago was a double lung shot at 10 feet. 12ga remington sabot. It ran down the bluff and out across a bean field onto another's property. It was about 3 in the afternoon. We searched for 2 hours as the blood stopped about halfway down the bluff. The the bean field was 150 yds across. We later found the deer 3 days later when we were pheasant hunting. It was in the middle of some trees that the farmer was clearing out next to the river. We walked past this 3-4 times but never seen any blood. The slug went right through and never stopped. Nice clean hole on each side.
This deer was already being chased from some of the others in the area doing drives. I remember as the deer had its mouth wide open breathing very heavy. That is the only deer I have ever lost. They don't always die within 30 yds like some like to say. I have no clue how it made it as far as it did other than it was already pumped up with adrenalin.
