I'd look some more, but there's a good chance you won't find him. If you had a decent chest wound with a truly sharp broadhead, you would have found him last night. I think you probably hit shoulder tissue as your thread title suggests. There's typically a lot of blood at first, then you lose em. I've seen deer hit in shoulder with 30-06 that we didn't recover.
What!?!I've seen multiple deer hit in the shoulder with a .243, .270, 30-30 and a 30-06. Not one of them made it past 20 yards; most of them dropped instantly.
BTW- He's probably dead. Somebody mentioned a grid search. I'd do the same.
I shot a doe with my bow in the shoulder, and she dropped right there. There was bone on the ground underneathe her. So who knows what happened.
