Re: Lung/heart hit..?

I bow hunted elk today for first time in ages, why do elk travel so far now after a lung/heart shot. Killed 4-5 everyone of them ran 150-300m. They never used run that far was always 20-50m then drop dead its not fun having walk halfway across a map get your kill each time.

Don't get me started on boars "intestine" shot :x

Can I ask you something? I noticed hat this bug occurs less often than before. But I also noticed that in the statistics of the hunt there is written bodyshot, but blood said lung/heart shot and then transformed to bodyshot.

So is it possible that it is not lungshot/heartshot transforming to bodyshot but vice versa? I am aiming on the lungs/heart, but there is still small chance that I missed a bit and so it is bodyshot? And the actual bug is that from bodyshot near lungs there are few pools of lung/heart blood?

Well now fast forword to 2018 and this is still happening. I just follow the tracks when possible and find the wounded animal dead after a period of time. This happens more then once in many instances. Eventually you will find the animal.

Its from hitting a single lung and shoulder blade (usually).
It shows the blood from lung first and then changes showing the shoulder blade is hit.

TYVM figured was close to heart just off a tad. All you need to miss is by a tad lol Seem to be doing better just figuring how to get more heart shots with the bow. That is my weapon of choice for a very long time. Now comes the recurve bow and that is a challenge.
