Default RE: Advice needed? bad shot?

ORIGINAL: pmbrac

So, I was in my stand and had a buck broadside at 18yrs. This is the first deer Ive seen this year as my season just opened Monday. I settle my pin and thought I made a perfect double lung shot. I walk up to my arrow and no blood on the arrow. After bringing the arrow home, I examined it and it has real thin blood streaks on the vanes (meaty) and hair on the arrow. My only guess is I hit just below the spine and above the lungs. What are the chances this deer is dead? I was shooting 2 blade rage which usually leave a big hole. I'm so pissed right now. I haven't lost a deer and years and I just don't know what went wrong. Either way, I will be back out there in the morning looking for the deer. Any advice or thoughts on the shot? Im am not happy with the arrow. I was happy when I thought I missed clean but now Im just disgusted with myself. thanks guys
Well what do you think you did, a perfect double lung shot or missed clean. I would for sure look in a couple of hours for blood. Then if you find a trail look at how good the blood is, think about following it further or waiting in the morning
