Very nice buck and great job of tracking by you and your buddy.

Your comment about the gut plugging the exit hole and blocking leakage is one for folks that do not have a lot of hunting experience should try to remember. This is not unusual for a "quartering towards" shot, especially an archery shot made from an elevated position, such as tree stand.

It doesn't take much of a quarter either. The angle seems to always be more than I thought.
