What do you mean, "with that shot placement". At how the animal was quartering away, that arrow was put right where it needed to be. Looks a lot like the doe I shot a few weeks ago.
She was in a hard quarter away. I stuck the arrow way back on her. It went in behind the rib cage, through her diaphram, liver, right lung, through the top of the heart, and out above her collar bone, takeing out the left lung with it too. She took 10 steps and fell dead.
I know that the shot is defnitely a lethal shot and never doubted it, I was pretty much refering to the tracking job that he must have went through. With the shot being so high and no exit wound, I just thought it would be difficult to track but not impossible.
I have shot deer that were quartering away and I know they dont go far at all.
I did not mean for my post to appear rude. I was just pointing out a quartering away is a money shot. I can not even start to count the animals ive taken with hard quarter shots. With thick skinned animal, a quarter away is a dream. When im hunting something like hogs i wait for a quarter away on the big boars. Its much easier to put an arrow benind the ribs than to try to punch through the shield.
