That is why I have never taken that shot, and I should have told KR to wait... he was facing us about as straight on as one possibly could. There was quarter size drops of blood every few feet the entire length of the trail. It wasn't hard to follow at all, it just bothered me that he lived so long after the shot. I have no idea how long he was actually alive, but I know it took me a heck of a long time to walk all that distance. COB would know exactly where this was as it went through the old Pickaway Co Sportsmens Club... (It died in the drainage behind Ruben's house, Ted). I have no doubt if he had been turned a shade, it would have been a quick recovery. As I said, I have never shot one quartered to, aiming in front of the shoulder as the boy in the vid did, but I've shot 'em quartered away and had it exit in front of the off side shoulder, never had a better blood trail or shorter recovery.... 11 steps to be exact, and that was running after the shot!
