My grandfather shot one onetime with a 222 and he responded the same way. When we got to the point of impact the bottom of the lungs where laying there in the dirt. We found the buck about 300 yards in where he had run headlong into a brush pile. I have seen my share of whitetail "running dead" in my short time on this hunk o rock.
Stuff happens.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
