Is this possible

[elkbowhunter]

There was a deer shot yesterday(not by me) in hill country and the guy said he made a "Kill" shot, not a pass through and had good blood trail and tracked it for over 2 miles and after 6 hours of not finding deer, then called in a dog. Still no deer. Ya'll ever run across a deer that tough?

[arrowdynamic]

It bled for over 2 miles?

[elkbowhunter]

It bled for over 2 miles?

yep...said he tracked it for over 2 miles...so i assume it was drops of blood unless he was Geronimo.

[Dusty Britches]

Yes, it is possible. What color was the blood? I have hit several does high in the shoulder, thinking I had a great shot, tracked a bucket of blood for 6 hours and well over 2 miles and never found them. That is until 3 weeks later when they showed back up at the feeder.

Not a good of shot as he thought...and yes I have seen them that tough. Buddy of mine liver shot a deer and couldn't find it. The buck came back in a month later looking just fine and he killed it. When we cleaned the buck there was the scar and cut of his broadhead right through middle of his liver from the shot a month earlier

Agree, have done the same.

[Uncle Saggy]

And yes, to show back up at the feeder

If it were truly a kill shot the deer would have been dead long before the 2 mile mark.

Very possible, I tracked one 3 miles and it turned up on camera later. The only thing that's not believeable here is that he made a kill shot

I think this expresses my initial disbelief about bleeding for two miles.

Tracked one 2 years ago. Arrow through one lung. They gave him an hour. Guide and hunter jumped him and the guide put a .30-30 through his middle. They called me to bring the dogs. I got there an hour after that and there was murder scene blood. Figured dead deer close by. Dogs jumped him and took him almost a mile. Put a .44 mag through his neck and dropped him.

Guess we would have to know exactly where it hit and define the "kill "shot. A lot of people have different opinions on that. The deadly V is called that for a reason. You go a fraction off that V and there is a chance its not deadly.

[froghunter]

a "GOOD" shot is a broad head in the lungs and/or heart. this equals a dead deer within a 100 yards.

anything else is a "NOT SO GOOD" shot.

[elkbowhunter]

Very possible, I tracked one 3 miles and it turned up on camera later. The only thing that's not believeable here is that he made a kill shot

Where exactly did you shoot the deer?

[clintb]

Ive seen a gut shot doe run for 600 yards with guts dragging the ground. Crawl under a fence and cross the hwy. Crawl under a fence on the other side and kept on trucking. All while her guts were dragging the ground.
When there adrenaline is high and they are not bleeding out then yes they can travel a good ways.
