Obviously this is a long shot.... I was in MT and arrowed my first bull September 16th which we never recovered.
Frontal shot at 10yds, turned fast into brush, and ended up penetrating diagonally through body. I believe it was a high, back, single-lung. Ended up hitting front left shoulder and saw arrow sticking out of high right hind as he ran away. ~10" of arrow remained in while the rest broke off 50 yards from shot. Trailed ~200yds, with very spotty blood and a single cough-up of foamy blood, then completely lost blood. Hands & knees, and grid searching yielded nothing else over the next 2 days.
Bowhunting, as we all know, can be a terrible ride of ups and downs and this has been one of the worst for me, with nothing to blame but a poor shot decision.
I'm posting this on the off-chance anyone finds the carcass or shoots him, with the back 10" of my arrow still in, out of curiosity to his end fate for closure. Arrows are Gold Tip Black Label Quantum, Q2i green 4 fletch with pink wraps. Shoot me a PM if you happen to find anything.
