First off, you can shoot one from the back side and NOT hit the guts!!
I believe you have tried it but for the life of me can't see you could get to the vitals without hitting the small intestines, the bladder or the gall bladder pancreasor stomach. All which put out some sort of nastiness on you meat.
BIGCOUNTRY,
The shot is very simple, through the hind legs low enough to miss the anal cavity. If it severs the femoral artery the deer would likely be located dead whithin 100yds.
Here is the anatomical location ...

I in no way condone this shot, just clarifying the facts.....
