    I'm going to chalk up my body's reaction to it being first thing AM and I haven't peed yet.
    Otherwise I may need to see a psychiatrist

    Because of the low lighting, I aimed center of lungs. Couldn't see the impact, but he reacted well. First and second blood were awesome. He circled around to where I bumped the 4 point. I'm just hoping my buck wasn't with him!

    Second blood 30 yards. Sprayed a 6 foot circle. Then drops after that... 20200927_085639.jpg

    From everything you said and pics. Looks like a liver hit. Would guess you hit the pouch also, that's why your getting stomach content. Probably head to thick bedding or a creek. He might be dead now or could take 24 hours. Me personally would give it 6 hours with the liver hit.

    Shooting a expandable?

    Back out. Give it till at least noon. Given it's just a couple little seeds he could have vomited and it mixed with blood in a mouth from lungs but don't take the chance and push him. Founds any beds yet? Let him bed.

    That looks arterial to me. Or coughed out. Look at the spray/splatter. That came out with force.
    Either way a good sign.

    Plus it was a ground-level shot because he was in a ground blind.....the body cavity needs to fill up with blood for there to be a lot of blood on the ground unless the heart was hit it would be pumping out the wound.

    Can we just skip to the part where you write me a 'scrip for 45 days off work for therapeutic sessions, to be spent isolated in a tree stand between Oct 1 - Nov 14?
    ...or at least some good drugs?

    I got permission to track on the neighbor's and gave it 30 yards just to find any blood. Bumped him! Eff!!! He walked 20 yards behind honeysuckle and stopped. I'm backing out. He should be dead right there in a few. This blows!
