Tough Deer

How tough would you say a Whitetail is? If you said tough as nails, you're right. Scott Bestul, a columnist for Field and Stream, Asks his followers to tell their best, the deer taht got away, stories. Some guys buddy, who practices the art of Taxidermy, had a buck come in during gun season that had a Broad Tip stuck in its jaw. Aparently the buck had been shott a couple of weeks earlier during bow season and surved the shot only to be taken in gun season. Another guy, shot a doe that had been peppered with 00 buckshot. The deer had 11 holes in its torso. A different guy shot a doe with a 300 Win Mag right in the chest. the guy never found the deer. None of this points to the fact that deer are invicible it just means that deer are very tough. as long as you try to stay close to the vitals, you have no worries.
