RE: Fatal hit or not???
Sounds like a low hit. Theres one thing I've learned a deer can bleed a whole lot and it will look like fatal blood but they actually recover. Let me give you a quick scenario. Last year my brother shot at a buck with his bow at about 30 yds. we had good blood and tracked the deer for probably 300-350 yds. before he hit the open field. We found places where he'd bed down and find more blood. The blood was bright red. Well we made it about half way across an alfalfa field and lost him. We thought for sure with the amount of blood we were seeing the buck went and crawled in somewhere and died. Well the first day of rifle season came around and our Aunt shot the buck and he was just fine. The wound was just behind the leg and below the shoulder, his arrow went in and out without peircing anything fatal. Chances are he's fine, but you never know?? Hope this helps?
