RE: Gut shot, how long to lay?
Recovered him 8:30 this morning, went 250 yards, no blood, 1 man grid search, a few clues, allota luck.
never took a 2nd shot because He was standing behind a holly thicket for 20 minutes, and walked directly away then turned, up towards the field, I was ready, He just walked the ONLY way that did not give Me a shot
I'll post later tonight,

That's great news!
You did a good job observing him after the shot too, and remembering what you saw. All good things to do. Great job.
Anybody can make a bad hit, but it can take serious effort to find the deer afterward.
So, did you hit the liver, stomach, intestines, or a mix of these?
