Well, that one did not play out as we hoped it would…….We found the arrow about 50 yards into the track and from the looks of it the hunter only got about 2-3 inches of penetration…..He said he found something that he thought for sure was a piece of liver so we suspect he my have just punctured his body cavity enough to lacerate the liver…..He wasn’t bleeding as good as originally described and he didn’t bleed any at all past the bed where he was jumped…..We tracked him for about 700 yards in really tough dry conditions but never caught up to him….I don’t think he was hurt quite as bad as the hunter thought……He may eventually succumb from his injuries though if he does indeed have a lacerated liver.

Here's the arrow showing the minimal penetration…..Sorry for the out of focus pic.....It was completely clean other than the little bit you see….I believe his setup just failed him…….Sucks too because this buck had a double main beam and was a pretty dang good one.
