If you hit the area above the spine it does not bleed very much because it has no main arteries through it. Were as this deer bled good for 100 yards.
Wanna bet?
I had a 6-point string jump on me last year and I backstrapped him (above the spine and even with the shoulder). Spent the entire day tracking that deer 400 yards (with blood) just to make sure he was alright. When he crossed the highway and into another property, the search had to be abandoned. Permission to continue was denied by the landowner.
Sorry, but superficial flesh wounds will generally continue to bleed slowly as long as the animal is kept moving. And because the body cavity was not compromised, all bleeding is external.
