Missed his heart, might have nicked a lung. He acted hit, but I diod not find him in the first 50 yards, so we did a tracking job.

Plenty of blood to track. Entrance hole was about 1" in diameter (?), and that's where the blood came out. He bled a lot internally.
I was using a .30-06 with 150 gr Accubond at around 2850 fps from my 20" barrel carbine.
On body length shots like this, ya think a heavier bullet would have been better?
I don't think a heavier bullet would have made any difference based on the information you provided. The only thing that would have worked better is to have gotten a solid hit on a lung or the heart, and that isn't as easy to do on a shot from the front vs. one from the side, OR as Steve said a spine shot. From the side you can get both lungs AND possibly a piece of the heart. Based on the shot you were presented, it appears you had the right bullet.
