Default RE: Lost my first deer EVER

ORIGINAL: Bulzeye

MuzzyMadness,

So what's the scoop on the shot details, like was previously asked?

If you want help figuring out what happened, or want to learn more for next time, post 'em up. Can't help without the details.

Shooting from tree or ground?
distance to deer at time of shot?
how did the deer react to being hit? (jump and run or hunch and trot?)
Arrow found?
was arrow a pass through or broken off down the trail?
fur color and type found at impact point?
blood/fur on arrow?
brown stinky fluid/food chunks on arrow?
blood color? (birght pink, bright red, dark red) / with bubbles?
blood on both sides of trail or just one?
normal trotting/running hoofprint patterns or irregular/leg injured trail ?

Answer a few of these, and you may get more helpful answers.
Some users on here that may appear overly critical can be very helpful if you come with serious questions. Others are just perfect, never miss the kill zone, and wouldn't think of shooting anything less than a 200 class buck.

If you want help, don't sweat it...just share some info.

I was shooting from a tree
About 20 yrds.
When the arrow hit the deer it jumped right away then troted about 10 yrds then stopped flickered it's tail a couple times then walked slowly away for about another 10-15 yrds. then stopped for a while... then ran away but not like full bore...
the arrow went all the way through
there was fur on the arrow... My dad looked at it and said it was the right color fur that we want.
arrow was rather red
blood trail was bright red bled mainly on the right side where arrow entry was... but after a while it was bleeding on both sides sometimes there were little bubbles in the blood... some of the blood on the leaves looked as if it was getting pumped out... so I am pretty positive i got 1 lung
but it was hard to see tracks so i couldn't tell you how it was running/walking
