Glad you found him. By the angle of the bolt that's in him it looks like his ass was almost straight on with your buddy, that's a pretty risky shot IMO.

That's what I was thinking?!? With a hole that massive on the lower side I'm so suprised! But hey congrats on finding him and sticking to it!

That would have taken out the diaphragm, (the thin muscle between the liver and the lungs) without that, they can do breathe. The diaphragm contracting and expanding is what inhale and exhales air from the lungs.
I figure there wasn't much blood due to the fat in the area of the entrance, would have acted as a sort of plug.
Glad you found him.

Glad you found him. But, I have to agree with Chad, that was a high risk shot angle. But, then I admit, I like my deer broadside, or very close to it, when I take a shot. Not trying to ridicule your buddy, just stating what I think.

Congrats ! I had that happen once also . Only reason I found him I could smell him . As soon as I rolled him over blood poured out like dumping a bucket !

Nice work finding him. I agree with the others on the bad shot angle, but at least he didn't go to waste.
