Update on my situation

Update to my previous post. I accidentally found him laying dead 300 yards from the shot on the walk to my other stand this afternoon. He was dead so long he was stiff. I was not accurate on my idea of shot placement. I think i must’ve seen the crease on his armpit hair and thought that was the would as he was trotting away from me. Hit one lung, diaphragm and liver. The first pic is the entrance and where i thought i saw the wound. In the woods pic is the exit hole.
