As Captain said, did not find the arrow which obviously can tell a lot. He did find a little white hair at shot site. It appeared bleeding both sides, which indicates pass through but thinking is possible brisket shot, slice it open which would make it look like it’s a pass through. It did sound like they kicked it up once and found blood where it was bedded. The bottom mark on picture is property he was hunting. The top picture is last known drop of blood, which was about the size of sharpie point. The tracking dog picked up trail across the road from that mark but that didn’t have permission yet to access but did gain it. Six of us went into outlined property looking and the island on top of picture. Did not find any blood once it crosses the road. If it kept going to the North and hit the open fields who knows where it went from there with no blood to follow. Would have been interesting if they could have kept going with the dog. I do know I wish I could hunt the property we were pushing sign everywhere! He did all he could, it sucks but as you all said, tough SOBs!
Dang that’s a bummer for sure. I actually grew up just a few miles west of there, some very nice properties right around that area! Hopefully it was not fatal and your buddy gets another cracked at him. I’ll be in a tree all day tomorrow so I’ll be sure to report back.
