The first deer I ever took with a bow was a big doe I snuck up on while she was bedded in a cornfield.Shot her from about 10 yrds away, arrow made a complete pass through, and was dead center through her heart.She jumped up and ran over half the length of the cornfield, well over 100 yrds before dying.It was easy to track, it looked like someone took a hose and sprayed blood on the cornstalks.

Shot a different doe two years ago, hit it a little farther back in the liver.She was dead within 50 yrds and I watched her go down from my stand.

First buck I ever shot was a bad experience, my rest came loose on my bow and the broadhead was up against the riser when i shot.Hit him in the hind quarter as a result, he died 12 steps later, cut the artery that runs through back there.Never seen a deer bleed out that fast.

No two deer are ever gonna act the same when hit, if you never had to trail one odds are you will.
