Now, you can shoot behind the lungs and in the upper large intestines, it's called a slot shot....you are still catching the intestines which will kill the animal, probably 8 hours later. You may be high and too far back.

It is also possible to go high above the lungs but forward of the lungs, high through the shoulders and if you don't catch any major arteries, you could only flesh wound the animal.

Knowing your deer's anatomy prior to going to the field is of the utmost importance and using the tips in the Recovery thread as well as those who post to it might just make or break a recovery. Good luck guys and girls.
