Default RE: Shortest distance to recover your deer?

The first buck I killed was an 11 point and he went 20 yards and died. He was double lunged. The 2nd buck 2 days later jumped the string badly and I hit him right in the rump but the arrow criscrossed his body and came out his front shoulder. He died very close too.

But last year I was in a tree stand and the arrow hit my 8 pointer 33 yards away in what would have been a 12 ring shot on a 3d target at a down angle and the arrow exited out his spine on the top!!! The deer made a sound like a linebacker hit him andwas flipped overon his back with all 4 feet in the air.
I have no clue how that happened but the deer was DRT. I have never seen anything like it ever. Not even a rifle hit has ever flipped a deer over on to his back like that.
Talk about KE.
