Awesome Curt, simply awesome.  You Sir can spin a yarn.  I don't have the gift that you do for such things but I have an idea what you are talking about.  The Surtees family Doc Tippit knife that I carried on my elk/muley hunt this season added some pressure, but it was very welcome pressure to preform to the best of my abilities and like your situation it had a positive ending.  I very much enjoy reading all that you take the time to post on this site...and very well with much thought and attention to detail I might add.

Thanks again Curt, and happy Bday to Cade!

NICE!! Good story tellin Bro. The Surtees family is lucky to have a guy like you keeping the memory alive.

Some autopsy pix...

As I said earlier, the shot was just a tad low...

Bird on his back...arrow entered the back of the near thigh and you can see it poked out the opposite side breast...
•  

Skin off, you can see where the arrow went into the body cavity after passing thru the thigh...see the liver?
•  

Enterance and exit...
•  

No with the breast pulled up...you can see where one blade of the bh cut a slice in the liver...but just missed hitting the heart that was right in front of it...
•  

Literally only one inch higher and it would have been over in seconds after slicing thru the heart!
•  

2 inches higher and it would have hit heart and lungs....always remember..."High they die, low they go"...
