What the chance of recovery with one lung hit, and how far will he go? Another thing, after giving him some time I did walk into the thicket HOPING I would find him since I thought I head him crash. I hope that doesn't end up hurting me in the long run, but I didn't hear anything get up and run off when I was walking through some of it and it was dead silent. No wind.
