I shot a button buck just like that on the first day of the season and then i didnt find him but one week later i shot him. he was ok the hole was swollen but it was like 80 out side. but the second time around he did last to long.
And it was my first bowkill

It looks like it has a wound already, right below where you hit him!!!!

Had the same type of hit one time in my earlier yrs of hunting.............I never did find that deer, I would still check in the morning, Man just one more inch lower. Good luck!!

I gotta admit, that took some major coconuts to put the video on here for everyone to see. Alot of people wouldn't have done that.It looks like your arrow just grazed him. Good luck getting another crack at him, and thanks for sharing the video.

Looks non lethal to me, But a follow up never hurt nobody.

I agree with the others . a backstrap hit . Just like a bee-sting ! You may not have misjudged the distance . You might have forgotten to bend at the waist and dropped your bow arm . That's the usual problem of high hits from shooting from an elevated position .

Man that was a silver platter deer. I know how you feel. That sucks. I think that deer will live, and don't let it eat you up. Thats a Tuff one

Flesh wound but check it out anyway.. good video, only one tip besides obvious.. Quartering Too shots are not usually a bow hunters best friend, best to wait for a Quartering Away.. But I'm guessing you know this and I'm just blabbing the obvious.
