Why did he die so quickly?
Ok well, I have a question on the deer I shot last week. I shot him at 35 yards on the ground, and he ducked a little bit and the arrow was a bit back but not too bad. I was using a rage 2blade. I watched him run into the trees, and heard him crash about 10 seconds later, then I heard him crash again about 15 seconds later. I waited an hour and went to the last spot I saw him, and there was great blood the whole way to the deer. He had only went about 35 yards from when I last saw him. My question is this: When we were gutting him, we saw that the broadhead had entered the highest point it could have and still be in the cavity. It had put a perfect slice through the liver, and also caught part of the vertebrae but not the spinal cord. I have always heard that a liver hit needs to go at least 4-6 hours, and I believed that. So why did this deer die this quickly?
Just looking for some knowledge for the future. Thanks in advance guys.
