Hardiest Animal ????

Helped trail a deer once that was shot low with a 30-06. We had no problem finding the trail. Pieces of intistine, and other entrails were left on the manzinita brush. We tracked the animal for almost a mile when we came upon him bunched up under a tree next to a log. It was still trying to get up when it was promptly dispatched. Upon examination, the deer had almost emptied out its insides.
Just heart, liver and lungs were left. I have no idea how it kept going.
 
People, I had a neighbor who had been thru the japanese camps in burma, and if 1% of what he told me was true, he's tougher than anything else that ever walked ...MIND YOU I don't doubt one word of what he said, but 1% of what he said would make almost anything else seem like a mild diversion.

He and another POW having to carry teak logs out on their shoulders to the saw mills, even when they were soiling themselves as they worked from dysentery.
