did the arrow pass through (blood up the arrow shaft and on the fletchings) if not chances are he just shaved its back. I'd go spend an hour or two looking for blood. Just hair and meat sounds like a flesh wound though. Good luck.

We just saw the deer driving down the road, she was acting fine eating acorns. He hit her just above the spine you could see where her hair was messed up.I'm pretty confident she's gonna be fine. Thanks for all the help.

That's great news...Now get him up in a tree to practice shooting from a stand...Many times a bowhunter loses his rear sight or anchor, causing the arrow to fly high...Sounds like this is the problem...Many hunters can shoot fine from the ground, put them in a tree 20 feet up and their form changes....
You have to bend at the waist and keep your head down, I like to feel the string with my nose, if I don't I will shoot 10 inches high....
I bet more deer are missed or wounded because of this, or not practicing with broadheads and finding that they don't shoot exactly liike field points than any other reason...
