RE: WHAT HAPPENED?
Hmmmm....
Never heard of a double lunger going more than 400 yards...
Based on the limited information you gave, I would say that, most likely, in my humble opinion you....
Took a shot quartering too, most likely hitting the lung on the side facing you. Since the angle was bad, the arrow then went through the diaghram, and most likely clipped the stomach. The stomach contents would clog the exit hole, seen this happen lots, and the enterance hole would be the only place you would be getting that bright pink blood.
Was there any vegetable matter in any blood? Was the blood frothy? Was there any dark, red blood, indicating a liver hit (likely with a quartering too shot)? How about the bucks reaction? Did the legs kick way the hell up in the air? Was he hunched up after the shot (indicating a shot behind the boiler room)?
Lay as MUCH info on us as you can, the more, the better.
The riverbottom might indicate a gut shot deer too. Once they start bleeding in the belly, they want water.
Sucks that landowner wouldnt let you continue that track job...some people are just plain cruel.[:@]
