Myth or truth

[double browtine]

I have had then do all sorts of things. Keep going in the same direction, turn around and run away, and die right there. I will say that 95% of the time if they are hit, especially a buck, they won't raise their tail.
I had a buddy years ago that shot a buck with his bow and he jumped and mule kicked and ran into a nearby thicket. He said the does scattered but then went back to feeding. He said he thought he missed him. Then after watching him stand there looking around for 30 seconds he fell over and died.

I've had them do everything under the sun, from run back, keep going straight, jump in rivers or ponds, and had one even run almost ten feet up a leaning tree during its death run. No telling what they'll do.

me too,, & i've taken quite a few since my first one in 1976 in hawkins county!!
