Even where she was laying there was about a 2" spot of blood under her and that's all. Her chest cavity was full but for some reason no blood on the trail. Good video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you! When the got the deer back from the butcher he said that in addition to lung we also clipped the main artery that runs along the base of the spine, and his whole front shoulder was full of blood. So even if you don't have great penetration (we only have 5 inches of penetration on this shot) keep after that deer! It is crazy how tough and how fast deer can clot up, so never underestimate them!
