What do you think....advice!?!?
I'll make it simple. Buck broadside, 20 yards away. The shot was a little high and forward. The buck ran hard for 30 yards then stopped and stood still. Was waiting for the 'wobbly legs' to start, but they didn't. The buck SLOWLY started walking off. Found the arrow...broke off....about 11" of penitration. Found descent blood where he stood, followed it for 15 yards....then decided to back out till the morning.
What do you think? Single lung?!? What do you think the slow walking away means? Thanks in advance. |

Keep us posted, Kurt ..... a high forward hit from a treestand can be real tough .....

Possible high one lung. 11" of penetration is probably at least 1/2 way through that animal. Deader than a doornail. Good luck on your recovery. |

He will not go far I figure. If you can shoot him broadside an he starts running an then walking 20 yards later. He will probably lay down soon. If its not to far forward.

Depends on how high and forward. I’ve hit deer high & forward and dropped them in their tracks because the spine dips lower than you think up there. If you are highER and forward, you may have went over the spine and won’t find the deer because it won’t be dead. If you aren’t that high, you’ve got both lungs and a dead deer. Good luck.

You did the right thing to back out,11 inches is quite a bit of penetration.You didn't say but hopefully the broadhead is still in him so as he moves it will continue to do damage.I wish you good luck!
