Deer Fact

[KentuckyTJ]

Did you know the right lung in any deer is larger than the left? Food for thought when aiming.

[lpcjon2]

In humans One has three lobes and one has two.

Good to know, I need all the target I can get! Phil

[KentuckyTJ]

Ours are that way also Tim? Did not know that.

On liberal deer it's just the opposite way around

So does that mean if the deer is an independant it's lungs change size depending on how they vote...  

[KentuckyTJ]

No Chopx they change sides depending on which side of the hill they are walking on. This will draw Froggy out very soon....

[PEARL DRUMS]

I just pop 'em both anywho!

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

Is it always the right side or is it dependant on which side is dominant?  I would assume that other animals could be right or left "handed" just as humans are.  In humans which ever side is dominant will have a larger hand and foot.

Good to know.  The next broadside shot I get with one facing left, I will kindly ask it to turn around!

[Eugene Slagle]

Good info to know but I prefer mine to be a little on the left.  

[dragonheart]

So we need to look for the dominant hoof to locate the bigger lung?

[Stumpkiller]

I'm sticking with the challenge of the smaller left lung.

Aim small, miss entirely.

[DaveBriner]

It's always going to be right side bigger (for deer), unless the deer has a condition known as situs inversus in humans (assymetrically placed internal organs are flipped in orientation), in which case the left lung will probably be bigger.

Has to do with location of the heart, how it evolved in humans, and where everything ended up fitting best for lack of more detailed discussion.

Best,
Dave

Big hands, big feet and big...... Nevermind!  :D

[leatherneck]

I can tell the hunting is a little slow in Kentucky!!! Go get that big 8 TJ and quit talking about lungs!!!

[Traddict]

Good information.  Learn something all the time.

[Bowwild]

Yep. By the way, summer hide has 4,000 hairs per square inch.  Winter hide (hollow hairs) has only 2,500/inch.
