Nice Shot! It amazes me how an animal can not only survive that long after being shot in the heart, but run so far. I was reading that people who have a heart attack don't remain conscious for more than a few seconds since the brain requires so much oxygen. For an animal to run a hundred yards or more is amazing.
It does me as well. My biggest memory of this was several years ago (over a decade) shooting a deer that was running and quartering away from me. It was a stupid shot to take and I did anyways. Got lucky and the shot was textbook. I "poured" out most of the vitals in the front of the chest cavity because they were liquefied. Thing still ran over 100 yards.
