Heart Break in Hood County

[CoachStanton]

Arrow did have some white fatty material on it.

This was the other side of the arrow as it laid after pass through.

Sorry for the bad luck. What is that mixed in with the blood? I'm seeing a couple white hairs and something that look like stomach content (gritty) or is it meat and fat? Did you give the arrow a sniff?

Smelt the arrow. No smell. Def no guts.

i think your son mostly got muscle. i'm betting that deer survives.

Sorry for your son. Weird that the deer just kinda walked away calmly after the shot. Hope you get a second chance at him

If the arrow just has meat, fat, white hair, and blood on it then I would agree all signs point to a low brisket hit and he will heal up.

Sucks! I lived the same nightmare at my place Sunday am...but deer was a goat horn spike. Bloody arrow...nothing else?

A few drops of blood and one small puddle. Dried up quick and nothing.

We want a rematch!

I slowed it down on youtube and it looks like the arrow passed right under the spine...

Also looks like your bolt fish tail up and down

Good luck on round 2

[gingib]

good chance to let him go now...let him reach maturity

[EliteDriver]

Keep after him!!! Use it as a learning experience for your son....

It wasn't the cause for this hit, but since your son is learning, in the future, I would tell him not to shoot when the deer has their head up and in the alert position. Let them settle back down and start eating. I feel like he will get another shot at this deer, I have hit several animals there that survived. Keep his head up and keep him encouraged. Nice buck!!

Great advice! I was so shook myself that I was just pumped he let him turn broadside. We'll finish this deal. We're on a mission now!
