The arrow hit guts but it was at a perfect angle/height. It would have been a great shot had he not jumped/lunged when he heard my bow (or whatever made him go forward-- may have just been bad timing and he started to bolt as I released, Im not sure).He went alot further than what I had ever expected. I kept thinking to myself that since I didn't get down and start tracking, that he probably laid up and died 50-100 yards away from where I shot him. Man was I ever wrong. He went a long ways. I shot him at the orange dot, and recovered him at the pink dot. When I was looking for him, I looked up and down the west side of the bean field 4 times thinking that he may have crossed over to the other side at some point, but I never found any blood. They truly are amazing animals.

Back over by where I shot him, it's rediculously thick. My legs are cut and scratched and were bleeding yesterday from the briars I was walking through trying to find him. Like you said-- amazing.
