RE: DID I HIT HIM????
So after giving he about three hours we went back to the spot he was standing. I found the arrow about 15-20 yards down the hill. It didn’t have that much blood on it but the 2 rage blades were missing. There were some drops of blood going down the hill to the point where he stopped and flicked his tail. From there he made a hard left and started spraying blood for 75-100 yards. It was bright red and DID have some bubbles in it. Unfortunately, the blood just vanished. He could have done one of 2 things. Stayed on the bench he was on which would take him onto a goat path behind some houses. Or dropped down and headed to thicker cover.
I think I may have caught the shoulder and deflected it back into the lungs. What does bright red blood with some scattered bubbles entail. How far could a deer hit like this travel, and will he definitely die???
