Henry was sure of this deer. He knew what a broadheadwould do. Even though he had not made a heart shot, thedeer could not last long. Any shot in the chest cavity is fatal.If an arrow passes through the lungs, the lungs will collapseand, besides, great veins and arteries are bound to be severed.Hemorrhage soon drains life away. So, he mused and waited.
At 9 o'clock he picked up the trail where the deer hadentered the woods. The trail was not hard to follow. Blood
appeared on the bushes about two feet from the ground. Alittle farther on, the tracks indicated that he had quit bound-ing and had begun to walk. The trail circled around. Henryfollowed on, losing the trail now and then. When he lost thetrail, he would circle until he picked it up again. The trailled back toward the field where Henry found the dead deernot fifty feet from the edge of the field.
