hey guys I shot a nice buck yesterday and the shot was low when i went to look for the arrow i found it sticking in the ground. It had fat on the first 6 inches of the arrow and white hair on the broadhead and no blood at all on the arrow. We tracked for 75 yards till we found blood then u could follow it easily for another 150 yards. then he crossed a creek and we followed it for another 150 yds easily. then it stopped we had 4 of us looking we then grid searched the entiere area and found nothing. i thought i just grazed his stomach what do you all think

was it bright colored blood and towards the end look a little watery?

Underside of belly or brisket.

well it all looked watery after he crossed a creek kinda hard to tell it was bright red blood yes i think this deer will be fine was wondering if ya thought the same. but i also think i will probly never see this deer again where i hunt after wounding him like that what ya think

anyone agree or disagree with me

You grazed the animal very lowin his winter fat reserves. This shot does not hurt them. I'd still look to be sure but these shots are what I refer to as training shots as you just trainied thatdeer to avoid bow hunters in the future ;-)

If someone shot me in my winter fat reserve it would hurt like the heck i believe

i second what Doppler said, you nicked his belly/brisket, that is what all the white hair is. He will be fine. But also like Doppler just stated. You just gave him an education.

i had the same thing this year. i shot a buck up hill at 30 yards. the hit was perfect at that angle and should have been a heart shot but it wasnt. when it went in it went straight down. so i caught one lung. i had fat on my arrow with no blood. began tracking and was able to find lung blood after about 20ft. bright red... i am not thinking this is what you have unless you have bright red blood that seemed to be spraying with a great deal of it at times. if you do not have that you skimmed his brisket. but if you have what i described above you hit one lung and he could still live.

there was no spraying of blood just spots and it wasnt pink it was kinda dark red. so like i was thinking i probly wont see this buck around for awhile guess someone will kill it this weekend with gunseaon comin in thanx for the info
