Too high?

[tradtiger]

Thanks for sharing. Dang good shot, but he ducked. Hope you get another chance at him.

Agree with all the others it is high and if not for him dropping to run off he would be dead. I bet you will see him again and hopefully close the books on him when you do.

I have a buck on the wall from Mississippi that was backstrapped the year before with a 270 by a neighbor property owner less than 200 yards from where I killed him

I killed a doe two seasons back that I had shot high shoulder on a few weeks before. Nasty holes through the scapula. She was not even limping when she came back in. Only way I knew it was the same deer was do to the wound. I hated to leave her like that and happy I was the one to finish it.
Stay after him. He may be back.

I shot this deer last night and wanted y'alls opinion on weather or not the shot was too high? Gave him about 4 hrs last night before we started looking. Only found blood for about 20 yds after I last saw him. I think the only hope is that I got lucky and hit the opposite lung but it looks a lot like a void hit to me.[ATTACH]876238[/ATTACH]

He's back. And it looks like he's still carrying the broadhead with him.





Hard to believe it didn't catch the opposite lung.

It never ceases to amaze me how tuff these animals are

Just a piece of advice wait until his head is up. He looses the cantilever effect to drop fast, good luck getting him on round 2

Yep, looks like the broadhead is stuck in the "exit" side shoulder.

Much to high for lung on the other side, but an inch lower, and you might have got him.

Ahhhhh...thanks for the tip. Never thought about it like that, always thought head down eating was a good time to let it fly. Makes sense. Preciate it.

Too high. Should show back up in a week or two

You nailed it....week and a half on return time.

[Capt.Brown]

Unfortunately it's happened to me a few times..

The tenacity and will to survive of wild animals never ceases to amaze me.

[hogdoggintexas]

Yep, that what we call "no mans land"! Ain't nuffin there that's gonna kill him!

I have seen a few deer killed that high up.

[BURTONboy]

Go get him again! Its amazing how these animals show back up as if nothing happened.

Backstrapped him

No such thing as a void.

^^^THIS^^^I bet he's still alive.

Well now that photo looks like you should have got the opposite lung or at least spined him. That's pretty wild. What kind of broadhead you shooting? If you have plenty of KE I'd try a bigger cut mechanical like a spitfire Maxx, as an insurance policy for shots like that. That's a head scratcher.
