Default RE: Will he live?

By the way, really steep angle shots are not good for bowhunters.
The spine and shoulder protect too much of the vitals. There isn't an arrow made that will consistenty defeat a deer's shoulder, and a solid hit to the spine will stop even a heavy arrow dead in it's tracks.

Next time either catch him broadside or quartering away as he is leaving.

Sorry to hear about the so far unrecovered deer. I hope you nailed a lung good enough that he'll drop soon enough to be found.
