So yesterday I was hunting in my back yard and a doe stepped out 23 yards from me broadside, so I draw back and take the shot. Feeling good about the shot I waited 30min and went and got my arrow. To my horror it had the pink and brownish color blood/goop on it typical of a gut shot. I looked around for a blood trail and saw the red carpet treatment for about 30ft then it just completely stopped. As im sitting on the ground in utter amazement as to how the trail just stopped I looked up and 40 yards in front of me on the hill side stood my doe licking her wounds. I could see entrance wound right behind her shoulder, then she turned and walked the other way and I also saw the exit wound way far back and high. I was letting her go and gonna try and track her after I woke up a few hrs later (i work 3rd shift).

So I wake up about 7 hrs later get my boy going on his homework then walk outside to go track her and there she is again! She looked up saw me and gave me the white tail wave and ran off. I know it was her cause I saw the spot where I shot her and the white hair on her belly was kinda red. I have been bowhunting for 4 years and never heard of or seen this before. Especially when the arrow reaked of intestinal nastyness!! Will this deer heal up and live or is she pretty much done?
