I can understand folks starting threads like this to ask for trailing help or other advice, but why is this one here? To brag about drawing blood, despite a poor shot selection and a lost deer? What kind of thing is that to brag about?
I think some people just need to talk about things, some more then others I guess. Personally, I don' t see anything wrong with sharing something like this. Hopefully, it will teach someone something. I didn' t see anyone bragging. I got the impression that slice is feeling very badly about it.
1st- A heart shot is possible with that shot. I did it last year on a doe on the opener.
Yes, this shot is possible, however, it is very, very low percentage, and should not be tried. There is substantial bone to get through before you get to the heart. Deflection, and penetration are real problems with trying to get to the heart with this type of shot.
Slice, on the other side of this, if the arrow did not hit anything else besides the one lung, there is a chance that the deer can survive this hit.
