Hill Country WT - WTH??

[Fishndude]

I shot this doe Saturday evening. Had a walking blood trail for 60 yards and the nothing. Lost her.

On the shot and in the video, I thought perfect deadly V shot. Maybe she was quartered away slightly? I’m clueless and hate to lose a deer but it happened.

Video taken looking thru shoot through mesh. Quality a little off. Sorry!

Slight quartering toward you. Back of 1 lung. Probably die but it might take a while.

Man looked text book to me. Judging by the angle of the arrow, the deer appears slightly quartered away. What broadhead?

[Shane]

She dropped and spun away from the shot. Maybe it went through her shoulder and out the neck/brisket without getting inside the ribs??

I can believe any of the above ideas cus I had no clue. I sure thought she was a 30 yarder and done for sure.

Not seeing this.

After screwing with it a bunch and trying to get the last sec of fletching before the disappearance this is what I got. May be the ol behind the heart in front of the stomach shot ... but who knows. At my first viewing on my phone this past weekend I thought it was a dead ringer deadly V but it looks more back on my big 24” screen ..

I got no explanation, maybe that it was just a touch back? Her leg was forward and maybe you were just back a touch. Only thing I can think of.

I found out that videos can be misleading depending on camera maybe, I shot a pig on video and had nocturnal on it, if you watch the video it looks like almost a gut shot but when I found it the entry and exit hole was both right behind shoulder..

Did you have a dog or call for one?

**** that’s a horribly big picture for the laptop. Let me see if I can do smaller . Looks good on Tapatalk either way.

Of course... and the opposite happens as well.

Man that stinks! Looks perfect to me. She was slightly and I mean slightly quartering away. Were you a few feet right of the camera? Unreal. I would think you would have double lung her.

[Hardware]

Stop video at 19 seconds where you can see broadhead impact( a little back in my opinion) but lighted nock looks to be at does hip.

Maybe just optical illusion but i've never seen a video of shot look that way.

[BlessedVeteran0305]

It looks like she dropped and quartered away just milliseconds before broadhead impact. Maybe missed the near side lung by a hair?

[FamousAmos]

I bet she was piled up in some thick brush and you walked past her or not quite to her.

This is all I can come up with after looking at that shot. Looks almost perfect. I have never lost one with a shot like that but you shoot a lot more animals than I do!~

[jbonney1986]

Touch back...she’s dead though. The buck I shot this year was an almost identical location with the exact broadhead...he went 542 yards, zero blood after a few drops from initial pass through. Gave the deer 16 hours, took an hour to find with 2 people and like I said, 542 yards from impact. Not much you can do, it’s bow hunting

[Trumpkin]

Boy, that's tough. I'd have thought she was deader than a doornail. Maaaaaybe you hit a touch back and only got liver and a lung?

I'm betting she found a brush pile and is dead somewhere close.

[Marco]

Too far back

No and no

Arrow left the blind about 2’ to the right of the camera.

Again, I’d buy any of y’all’s ideas cus I just don’t know.

[Therooster240g]

To me that looks like the point of impact is at the dot with the nock swing around to the x with it quartering way. Maybe hit the opposite side shoulder with the arrow possibly plugging the hole leading to the lack of blood? I slowed it down as much as my phone would let me and i looks like a good shot.

Better it’s further back than most think. Liver/stomach.
