I agree with the other guys that the tail high is not usually a fatal hit and I do know the feeling, part of it but really sucks.Last edited by Setxbowhunter58; 10-16-2018, 08:44 AM.

This deer was a quartering away shot at 20 yards... 5 weeks later, he was shot with a gun... arra still in him. He was chasing does and coming to feeders regularly. Arra did not penetrate body cavity but went in and deflected between the shoulder and rib cage... Even in the video it appeared to be a great shot... we were high-fiving and all... After a mile track with my dog, we jumped the deer and never found another drop of blood... Didn't have a clue what happened until we started to get pics of him a week later... Took 4 more weeks to get a shot on him...
Hope you have a similar outcome!
