Why can’t I find this buck?

[Warwagon]

This is a 5.5 y/o 200lb+ s.Tx buck. I shot him yesterday evening with what I consider a text book shot. Broadhead was razor sharp and I had a complete pass through! Arrow was completely covered in bright red blood. Only found 1 tiny drop of blood at the shot location. Looked for 3 hours, called the dogs, they looked for 3 hours, went back this morning and looked for 2 more hours, absolutely no blood or sign!!! Do you think his fat could have sealed the wound? The weather conditions were horrible all around, been raining for 3 days and was lightly raining when I shot him. I still think there should have been blood everywhere, I’m at a complete loss!! I tried to post the video but Tapatalk isn’t letting me so here’s some screenshots. Thoughts?

No telling, unless the angle was a little wonky??? Sometimes, for unknown reasons, it just don’t work out the way it’s supposed to!

Sorry this happened to you. I’ve been there, and I know how bad it sucks!

Looks like a great shot but like Bisch said, for unknown reasons it happens sometimes.

Sorry to hear that. I lost a buck last year, not hit as good as yours but still should have done the job. It’s sucks but it’s part of it

Maybe just over the heart and below the lungs.

Looks perfect what did the dog man say

What kind of broadhead??? I use 2 blade heads and Ive had several shots where the blood trail was waaaaay less that stellar. I think that sometimes the slit in the hide gets misaligned with the slit in the muscle, effectively sealing off the hole that the blood should be coming out of.

I sent him the video and he said that deer has to be dead and close!

I'd have bet a paycheck more than a hundred yards.
