I did but failed to tell all the details so here goes. When I found the belly crawl spot I started to track him in the snow and pushed him out of a bed a few hundred yards into the woods. I could see the blood mark in the bed high on the back and could also see he had 4 good legs under him so I decided to wait. It was dark by then and decided to let him lay and hopefiully die. The next morning we went back there and I found the bed and tracked him to 3 or 4 other beds in the snow. The bleeding stopped and I was still able to track him. I could see he meandered all through the swamps and actually started to feed after he mixed back in with some deer. I looked for him until noon or so and then decided he was OK.

I had this exact thing just happen to me last week. I explained the whole hunt in another post.http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1807511

I shot the deer at 150 yards and he dropped and then after several seconds got up and ran and immediately bedded. I jumped him once and left him go till morning. When I found him in the morning he was stiff but very much alive. I was able to shoot him in his bed and finish him off. When I skun him out I hit him just below the spine and just above the shoulded. An inch either way and he would have died instantly!
