Easy to do. Still should have put him down. You got unlucky!I was going for mid body even with the back of the front leg. I didn't take into account that I'm zero'd at 100 and the shot was only ~50. So between the chaos and the closer range, I think I hit about 4" higher than I was aiming.
Mortensons pic actually a good one.

Red is your shot. Green is double lung. Yellow is heart. Orange is high shoulder.
