Got out about 8:00 a.m. started tracking got on a few pin drops of blood. 75 yards from stand found my arrow only went in about 12 - 15 inchs. Lost the blood trail walked avout another 5o yards picked the trail back up just too find 4 small drops of blood, there I sat spinning in circles. Now Im 150 yards out. What way do I go now. The last blood I saw was heading toward a pile of trees so I walked over and there he lays. 150 yards from stand. Needless too say this deer did'nt bleed hardly at all. Its just too bad the coyotes got too him. I was 20 ft up in the tree. Why wasnt there a pass through? 15 yard shot, shooting 70lbs. I must of clipped the lungs??

That's to bad about the yotes. Nice looking buck. The shot looks a little high but more forward than you thought.

Yah it is more forward than I thought. It just happened so fast like I said I was just starting too get my gear together and get out of the tree and I heard it come cruising through. The bad part is after tracking by foot and not finding much blood we took both the 4 wheelers in the woods for more light cause I thought I heard it crash, needless too say we were driving in circles around it.

Yep, definately a lot more forward than you thought, you caught a lung. The shot you originallydescribed is what my hunting friends and I refer to the no mans land shot. Behind the lungs, above the liver, below the spine, minimal guts. I once shot a big 8 with that shot and he was seen 3 weeks later still alive but he had little strength left. I'd rather hit pure guts than the non mans land shot.Nice job on tracking though.

Shooting from 20 feet up in the tree at that anglethat shot was good. The Coyotes are bad most places where I hunt, so I rarely back out unless I see feces on the arrow. I will give them time at least an hour if the shot was good longer if i think I should, and look in the dark with good lights. With a good hit you can recover the deer in the dark. Sorry you lost the meat but at least you got the deer and you didn't wound it.

I agree being the shot was only 15 yards.
