Over the weekend I "arrowed" a deer, it was a "good hit", complete passthrough, vanes covered in blood. Deer made a mad dash, through thick brush, then seemed to crash within seconds. After inspecting the arrow, I waited about 1/2 hour. Within a few feet I spotted the first sign of blood. From there, a constant blood trail (bright red) could be seen. Some were only a drop or two, other spots were the size of an orange. I followed the trail in a fairly straight line for about 50 yards, then it veered off to the left for another 15-20 yards. The blood trail was becoming thicker and I continued to follow ( a drop every 2 or 3 feet). The second last spot of blood was about the size of a orange, and the last the size of a pea. THEN NOTHING!!!

I scoured the area, (in circles) for about an hour. I was expecting to see the deer at any moment, but could not find any further traces. Finally darkness fell, and I had to give up for the evening.

Does anyone have any ideas, of what might have happened?
