Ya ther tough!
About 5 years back I had wiped out bird hunting landing on a pointy boulder and bruised 3 ribs my kidney and lung.
So after I healed (ya-sure) I went out muzzleloading 6-days later.
A 6 pointer came into my stand about 40 yards away and had to lean way over to get the shot off.
Talk about pain... Well the shot was off by a foot and went right through the gut.
The buck ran 40 yards and I could see the intestines hanging out, so I reloaded and shot him again.
The angle on the 2nd shot was almost facing away, so I picked the bulge on his gut a squeezed the trigger.
At least this shot I could hold steady using my knee as the gun rest. I waited 10 minutes and went to get him.
Well, he ran off and I decided to give him another 20 minutes, running another 125 yards before dying.
After gutting out the huge mess, the 2nd bullet went through his whole stomach and into his chest, it buried into his front shoulder and nipped his heart.
