2-3 yards from a treestand. Arrow entered just below the spine and exitedjust off center of thesternum. A one lung hit. (I thought I'dhit them both)

Blood spurted everywhere and the deerfell down only 15 yards from my tree. However, it didn't actually die for another 20 minutes. (couldn't get another arrow in because it was too thick and I was worried that if I climbed down it might get up and run off) That'sprobably the longest, most horrible 20 minutes I've had in a treestand.

I've avoided steep downward shots ever since.

entrance


exit. Because of how the deer was laying the blood is actually much farther over than the hole.It looks better than it is.Actual hole is through part of the sternum.
