PROBLEM need some input
 

So today, i set up the double bull matrix, and took this kid out bowhunting. I had him all set up and he was shooting great all the way out to 20 yards. Well all he wanted was to get a doe so i said fine i no where to put you. So we put the blind up and climbed in. I had the video camera and we were videoing a doe coming in really close that he was going to shoot. Then he says "hey there a deer right next to the blind" so i slowly look over with the camera and there was a nive little 7 pointer standing there at 3 yes thats 3 yards. I told him to let the buck get out to 10 yards and then he could shoot. So the buck starts to walk out and got to about 6 yards and i told him to draw his bow, so he did and he shot. He must have just been toooo excited and jerk a little bit. Well we replayed the shot about 50 times on the camera, and he hit perfectly up and down it was about center right even with the middle of the shoulder blade, but he hit in front of the shoulder, like almost in the neck area. So after 3 hours of sitting there debating what to do we went out to find the arrow, and we found it. He got about 5 inches of penetration, and we had a great blood trail. I was thinking yep we got this one. But no. We trailed good blood for about 300 yards and no sign of him. We went back to my house and he went home i am going back out to look for him in the morning because he has school. Any info on this kind of shot would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Well that is what i was hoping. Something fatal at least, this kid is just miserable. He is 14 and doesnt know what to think.

How did the blood trail look? Was there plenty of blood? Was it a steady flow or only in spots? How far did you track the deer?

RE: PROBLEM need some input
 

Blood looked great plenty of blood steady flow, but it was really dark red.

Gee ,Hope you can find it.I think it was a killing shot ,

I also forgot to mention that at the end of the blood trail there was a big puddle of blood about a foot circle of dark red blood, and then 20 more feet there was no blood at all. If i remember right isn't Dark red blood like a muscle shot.
