As I am new to bow hunting, I have a couple of questions? After watching the shot on video and in slo mo it looks to be slightly forward and partial exit near or in opposite shoulder. I know op said he would do nothing different and I agree that this deer is dead. Would people generally say that this shot should have been a few inches back or was this just fine? I am not all critiquing the shooter, I just like to learn from real life situations that I can see on video. On that shot would it be preferable for the exit to be in front or behind the opposite shoulder?
Congrats on an awesome dear and what looks to be an awesome place. I would love to have the amount of deer and the choices you have.

as others have mentioned, I'd wait 4 hrs and be ready to call in the dogs for backup
Honestly it looks like a very similar shot to my tall browed deer last year. His head was down feeding and due to the quartering away I took out one lung and hit his spine at the base of his neck. The arrow stopped just like his ....and I found him 300 yards later. Give him some time. you should have a nice blood trail to take you to him no matter how long it is.
Here is the live hunt...with pics

Based on the pic in 127 I can't find anything wrong with the shot other than the head being down... I aim for the tuft of hair just behind the shoulder. If anything and 1" or 2" back but still that should be a dead deer either way.
