6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: heart doe or buck? i have found that a doe can only go out 20 yards...lol...but i exploaded the heart with a muzzy on her, it all depends i guess, if your pushing the deer or you leave it set, if you put an arrow through his heart and dont push him generally he will only go about 50 yards and lay down and bleed out and die...

Guest Finn Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: heart I haven't seen one go farther than 50 yards being heart shot. I like my chances for recovery with that hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: heart 100 yrds not much more I think the double lung puts them on the ground faster though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: heart Not far. I have 3 heartshots to my credit. The farthest one went about 50 yards if you count the 10 yards of falling down the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mims Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: heart A human has about 10 seconds of life after a heart shot with a pistol(police research). I figure a deer would have about the same after an arrow to the heart. So figure 10 seconds of travel is how far they will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParsonsOutdoors Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: heart A doe I heart shot this fall went about 90 yards on a full out run. I took out the back of her heart. JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the heart, and it's over in a matter of seconds. I double lunged a doe 3 years ago and she ran well over 400 yards on a dead sprint before collapsing in the middle of a picked bean field. Double lunged deer can go quite a ways IMHO, hit the heart, and they ain't going far at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: heart The ones I have heart shot all dropped under 100 yards, probably closer to 50 yards. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: heart I shot a doe at 37 yds and got both the heart and a double lung. She still went 70 yds and fell over stone dead. I shot a doe through the jugular and she went 50 yds with a heck of a blood trail the whole way. I think in any case as with humans that no matter where you hit them as long as theirs massive blood loss the victim goes into cardiac arrest and the brain overheats. Not much after that.

Ravin R10 man Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Re: heart Ive put an arow, right through the heart,... and have had bucks go 20 yards and as much as 150 or 200. I shot one with the rifle nothing left of the heart..he went nearly the width of a 40 flat out!!dressed at 200# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule659 Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Re: heart It all depends on how the deer acts after the hit. Some deer sprint off in an all out run others just kind of trot off. I have never had one go over 120 yards. I always go for the double lung myself just because it presents a bigger target.

Born4it Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: heart They'll go a little farther than if you poke out both lungs, but don't count on losing the deer on a heart shot! Take care, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
