why is that the biggest deer i have ever shot in my life gets away, granted i did hit him in the shoulder, my gold tip arrow snapped in half as soon as it hit him, he ran and ran and ran, i gave him 2 hours before i started looking, i followed the bloodtrail untill i found him bedded down by the little river, as soon as i got near him he got up and ran across a huge field onto someone elses land, i amfurious!!!thats it ive had it with mechanicals, what is a good regular broadhead?
HMMM...hit the shoulder and you had enough blood to follow and kick the deer up ...Sounds like the broadhead did its job. It just wasn't deliver in the right place.....
Dont blame the broadhead on a bad shot...thats your fault...
Only 2 hrs....IMO you should have waited much longer....
I hope you find him

Depending on how far you followed this blood trail. Say 300yards? I would guess that broad head penetrated the shoulder, and Id continue the search after he is given time to lay down and get stiff. I use mechanicals, always have, never lost one deer with them. but you gotta put it in the sweet spot. When in doubt dont shoot. Course your always gonna have the unknown happen, but stay on him. Your allowd to track him on other property. I'd say you owe it to the deer to find him.
Just me tho

Like the others said it dosnt matter what you use if you dont make the right shot. I dont know when you shot this deer but I still would be looking for him.As far as fixed blades Muzzy - Strikers. I killed a buck this year with a Mech - Rocket 75gr Blew thru and stuck 6in in the dirt.That little sucker put a big hole in him. He made it 30 yrds.Got to go for the SWEET SPOT!!!!
