[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5748465, member: 20583"] They have incredible will to survive. I once read about an outfitter in KS who instructed clients to NOT shoot for vitals because of a big mature buck's ability to absorb it without dying. He told them to aim for gut and don't try to track because they had a nearly perfect recovery rate on gut hit deer. That has always stuck with me because every year I hear stories about bucks surviving shots that the hunter just swore would be fatal. Edit: I'm not promoting aiming for gut so please don't read it wrong. [/QUOTE]
