Through the heart and she went 200 yds.

Possible extreme top of heart but definitely both lungs, less than 50yds.

Double-lung, 250 yards. If it were a short run, he wouldn't have posted...

I guessed short run cause there is no blood on the hide that I can see...I would think if it ran a ways it would have bled more.

I'm thinking heart and dead within a few steps. Most animals I've seen that were hit in lungs and ran had pink blood about the nose/mouth. Animals that ran and were hit in the heart had blood running out of the wounds. I just don't see enough blood....maybe if she ran through a lot of wet brush or something.

I think its a little far back. I think he just missed the heart and shooting up hill at that angle caused to bullet to hit the bottom of the far side lung. I think he thought it was a good hit but pushed her and realized it was going to take some time so he let off and waited 2 hours for it to expire.

looks like the top of the heart to me. I think the lungs are a couple inches farther back. regardless, a good clean ethical kill. You owed it to her.
