Looked like a good shot but never found this cull

[AntlerCollector]

Main reason that I never shoot at a deer when its head is down.

Sorry you lost the deer.

Same here! When a deer has its head down it provides the leverage to drop that fast.

Head up when shooting, but that isn’t what you asked. I feel like it was forward and a little high. Also add in that he was rolling away and you might have missed both lungs. Just my opinion....

[TildenHunter]

That shot kills 99% of deer within 100 yards. No idea what happened!

It happens. Several years ago I finished a small 5 point with my .45, 8 hours after shooting him with my bow. As I removed the heart and lungs I found a broad head hole through the back of both lungs. I have no idea how he survived that long.

He was hit farther back than yours. No blood trail, the arrow was coated though.

Buck I shot last year was hit there and was found 200-250yds away double lunged. I lost the blood and just starting taking each deer trail the direction he went until I found him. I knew he was dead and knew I got both lungs he just didn’t bleed much at all from it

I have bowkilled 6+ tons of deer, literally 6+ tons.
Head position has never been a consideration unless the deer was looking straight at me.
That is a dead deer.

Only thing I can think of is he torqued just enough that it missed the off side lung. I would've thought he was dead too to be honest. Could y'all have possibly jumped him or did y'all wait a while? Either way I would've thought the deer was for sure dead without much tracking.

Unbelievable

Wow I got nothing, hit right where it needs to be. Of course with a deer rolling no telling what happened!!!

[Loneaggie]

Considering drop perfect shot. I wouldn’t be surprised if no blood for a while. But I don’t see that deer making it past 2-300 yards.

I don’t think it was too far forward or high.

Take it to the bank, Rocky knows what he is talking about!

[ShawnG]

I agree it’s a dead deer.

[Native Texan]

That deer should have gone down quick.

Dull broadhead maybe???

If the head is not "shaving" sharp the wound will not bleed freely.
