Don (others)....if it was "back".....what would I have hit, internally?
Which side of the body is the liver on? Isn't it the left?? In which case you would have missed that I believe....

The liver is on both sides, a little more of it is on the right and that makes the right lung slightly smaller than the left.

I may have this backward but I don't think so.

So you're saying it is pepindicular in the chest cavity? I thought it paralleled it?? Hell, I may be the wrong one here....

I explained way back there the shot angle.

Id say its a liver or maybe lung shot, maybe both lungs with the trajectory of the angle. But I'd guess that it would have missed its full potential.
regardless it resulted a positive means to recovering a deer within 50 yards..... or vitals all in tact and you hit an main artery

See it behind the lungs?

That doesn't look real acurate, seems a little slid backwards.

If hes quartering away...i would say its a fine shot.....let me rephrase...an acceptable shot

This shot resulted in a single lung and heart shot. I couldn't tell if the off-side lung had been hit ......but if so....it would have been the very bottom of that organ.

I shot this shot for 27yds.....and didn't know it was 33 until I stepped it off, later. I would have liked to have had it a bit higher.....but it worked out just fine.

I would take this shot on EVERY deer I ever shoot in the future....even if it was broadside. Entrance was directly into the lung and would have been through the other on a broadside hit......especially if it had been up a bit higher (like I intended).

Huh.... well, I wouldn't have guessed you hit the heart... I guess I was mistaken on the trajectory.
