Nice job.  That hole in him looks to be not far back of the heart.  And I've had a couple strange recoveries of deer hit there as well.

Love your second picture, looking at that habitat.  Nice work!

Great story, and exceptional job of tracking and recovering this animal.

Quite deceiving on the angles of where you hit that monster.

Thanks for sharing, and showing how "close to the lungs" you were, and the difference in recovery time.

Great deer. Great job. It is hard to believe that that entry hole resulted in a liver hit and a 11 hour track job. Congratulations.  :thumbsup:

Great job on a great deer!  That really illustrates the point about keeping shots tight to the shoulder.  It really looks like a good hit, but still got liver.  Unreal!  
Way to follow up and not quit!
