i actually got really lucky! it was the first real deer of the season two years ago and i was shaking pretty bad. I shot and the arrow went through the gut and out right under her back knee. she fell as soon as i shot, got up and walked about 40 yards and fell over. i waited a bit but it was getting dark, so i walked up to her, she got up but couldn't run cause of that back leg. i pushed her about 30 more yards heard her crash again and then quickly put her down. i think she really died from the leg artery and not the gut shot. i was so glad that i was able to make up for my mistake quickly, sometimes you don't get that lucky
