Furthest you`ve ever tracked a deer with both lungs and heart shot out?

After reading an article in the Cols., Ohio Dispatch newspaper titled 'Local bowhunter takes mammoth buck', the details of his event got me wondering. The details included: shot Sept. 30th by Steve Eskers, Eskers films hunts and sends them to hunting show, deer field dressed @255lbs.,green scored 216 gross with a score of 208 after deductions, shot with a Parker Tornado crossbow(didn`t say what broadhead). The weather was warm and he couldn`t find deer and eventually hired a guy with a helicoter to find deer. Deer was 165yds. from where he had shot it. Esker`s stated the bolt had passed through both lungs and heart. Soooo, my question is, 'whats the farthest you`ve ever had to trail a deer with both lungs and heart shot out'? My furthest would be about 70 yds. and that was with a 12ga Rem. slugger that wouldn`t do as much damage as a broadhead. Just hard for me to believe this deer went almost two football fields with no air.
