From that angle, it's hard to tell where the actual entry point is. My best estimate is that it's in the shoulder and has either been bent back along the body or it was shot into the shoulde on a hard quartering away angle. Based on what you said, I would say that the deer will likely live. If infection were going to kill it, it would likely be dead bynow. deer are very resilient when it comes to fighting infection and since it's been two weeks, it's obvious that any vital organs have been spared.

Arrow wounds tend to bleed profusely at first due to the sharpness of the broadheadand that tends to flush out the wound.More often than not, deer recover from arrow wounds that dont enter the vitals unless the digestive tract is involved. Any wound in the stomach or intestines is very likely to result in death eventually.
