I have no comment Re broadheads. It does sound like you went right after the deer which is a HUGE no-no. Please read the thread at the top of the page about tracking deer. You would most likely be posting pics of a successful hunt if you had. Gut shots need to wait 8 hrs.

Also ifthe deer ducked a foot, and you hit far back in the guts, where were you aiming? Did it start turning as well?
