I need some advise about a buck that I shot the other night. The buck crossed the field and entered the wood line coming right passed my stand. When it was 23 yards broadsides I grunted and stopped the buck. I released the shot and saw the arrow strike the deer. The hit looked to be a little back but still in the rear lung or at worst liver area. It was the perfect height. The buck bolted and it appeared that the fletching was still sticking out. I felt the shot was at worst one lung because I had to go higher then normal because my tree was very open. I was at about 26 or 27 feet up. The buck crashed through alot of timber for about 40 yards and then just got completly quiet. I got down and looked for the spot where I hit him but could not find it due to it getting dark so I left for the night. The next morning I found where the buck was standing and then I found the arrow lying on the ground about 8 feet from the impact. It was not stuck in the ground but laying on top the ground. There was alot of fatty type tissue and some hair on the arrow. The fletching did have blood but it was like a stringy blood. It was definitly not the look of a good pass through. The acc arrow was pretty good as well. I searched for this deer for two days and only found a little blood for the first 80 yards and even then it was only where I think he stopped and stood. I am thinking that since I was high in the tree and the buck was close that maybe the arrow did hit him where I thought but kicked off a rib and went straight down only peircing the hide and maybe some of the ribs which would exlain the fatty tissue and poor blood evidence on the arrow. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen? I was using a Slick Trick 100 4 blade head shooting a Bowtech MM at 72" and 278 FPS so energy isnt a problem. Any imput would be appreciated.
