made a bad shot on a buck this morning. the buck walked right under my stand. i did everything right. i let him walk out a ways and grunt and stop him perfect. but for some reason i chocked and hit him high on the back a little far back. it hit just under the spine about mid way back. he bolted for about thirth yards then walked away. the blood trail was great at first but faded away to just drops. i didnt hit the artery because he would have been dead within about 50 yrds tops. but i hit a vain or something because the blood was spraying out of him. i found leaves with fine mist on them. so what do you guys think dead deer or not?
