He looks a little ragged and hunched. Hope you guys get him or the coyotes might. He may heal and be fine also

He should heal. Don't beat yourself up too bad.

Good luck.

Looks like you hit him in the steaks. Gun or bow?

Ohh man!! I feel your pain. I shot one of that caliber last year. I too hit him high. Lucky for you, you have proof of his existence. Never say never..

Broadhead is probably still in there. He might be ok if he doesn't get infection. Could die of lead poisoning with the gun season on.
