good luck on the search ; above all don't give up till you are sure he is OK.my wife made a shot like that last year,she hit just below the spine.we waite and I took my blood dog and trasiled him for amost 2 mile befor I gave up.at the last I was finding just a drop of blood every 50 to 100 yards.we looked for a couple of days and never did see any buzzards in the area where we last left him.[&o]
I beleve he made it.
