bad hit-recovered!

CONGRATS!!

[PA-Spot]

Looks like liver to me. If it was he was dead in 15 min or less. Nice buck getting him stuffed?

I think PA-spot is dead on.. He looks like a duplicate for mine except mine was a bit more straight across.  Arrow hit a blackberry cane in the last foot of flight and moved about 4"  If it was, likely he was dead inside of 2 min.  Thats what mine did.

Congrats...  good deer.  You did it well

Great Buck!  I've been thinking about picking up a bear.

I've found that a hard 1/4ing hit drops them fast..
takes out liver and a lung and down they go....
