For starters I agree 100% with CharlieP. Truer words have never been spoken.
i shot and hit him right there in the heart
IMO that's a pretty bold statement without a recovered animal and an autospy. But for argument sake let's say you did put one through the boilerroom. A systematic grid search and a bit more time and effort on your part likely would have yeilded a recovered animal. If you know your tracking skills are still developing and you're hunting next to cornfields you may want to consider a string tracker or similar type device.
