Good for you on the recovery.
I shot a doe yesterday morning with a slug in the chest.  Good thing there was snow on the ground or I wouldn't have found where she ended up.  Only one lung was destroyed but they can go a long way on that steep angle type of hit which is what she did.  It would have been impossible to make out a blood trail on dry grass and leaves.  I got over confident with the snow down and pushed her too early or it would have been a shorter tracking job.  
Glad your's worked out well.
Katie, I want to see your kill.  Hopefully we can find it in the Iowa thread.

thanks guys. I am afraid I wasnt very clear on this post. It was actually a very good angling forward lung shot exit was right above the front leg. The only thing wrong with the shot was it could have been a tad lower, it was mid body. At the shot I was very pleased with the look of the shot. I got concerned because I didnt hear her crash and it was really thick stuff. I got even more concerned at the lack of blood on the ground. Then I started questioning in my mind if the shot had not been a litle far back and maybe I had hit liver. I then convinced myself that it had to have been from the no crash to the lack of blood.
 Was gonna post some pics of the location of the shot but they aint the best pics or most tastfully done pics so decided against it.
