Deer Hit Need Tracking/Shot plaacement Help? Update page 3 pics
Just as I was getting out of stand tonite a 8 pointer come running through the woods right at dark, I finally grunted at him and he come to a slight walk at 15 yards I shot Hitting him High and about mid back. Question: I started my track and only found a few drops of blood out too 50 yards. It got dark on us and we pulled out. The arrow did not pass through. Is there any chance I may have got a lung?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks IA

Sounds more like back lung/liver. ?
 Can you explain on this cut away picture above on where you "think" you hit the buck? |

possibly but we would need more info. I would go in the morning to track again and see what kind of blood, if it goes further ,can you find the arrow ? it might be a muscle shot in the back strap ?

Wow! I just shot an 8 pt last night and that is basically the same spot I hit him but the good thing is he was quartering away, therefore the arrow went up in and got the liver and 1 lung. We backed out with little blood the same as you, and recovered him this morning not much further but what happened was the arrow didnt go through too, and it clogged the hole giving little blood. But wasyour buckquartering away?..quartering to you?...broadside??? That might play a key role if you hit a lung.

High and middle torso and the arrow stayed in? I hope I'm wrong but I believe you're in for a long, hard track.
