I shot this buck November 8th. I saw the the arrow hit him perfect but when he turned to run it looked like my entire arrow was hanging out of him. i was a wreck. I let him go for 2 hours, got down found my part of my arrow. I had about 10 inchs broke off so I knew I had one lung hopefully both, but i knew i didn't have an exit wound. I didn't find any blood until about 80 yards. It took me 2 hours to go the next 40 yards. It was like someone barely flicked blood with a little kids paint brush. Finally I started finding foamy blood that he was breathing out. Then it took me about 5 minutes to go the last 40-50 yards. Talk about relief. I saw the entry wound was well behind the shoulder, rolled him over and felt the broadhead trying to poke through right behind the opposite shoulder. It was a perfect hit he just sheared the arrow before it was all the way through killing all the momentum. He was dead 30 seconds after the shot but not to me until 4 hours later.

He would be an 8 but one of his brows was broke off, he weighed 172lbs.
