shoulder shot???
Hit a nice one in the shoulder last nite. Arrow only went in about 6 too 8 inches id have too say....70LBS bowtech guardian With a Grim Reaper Broadhead Tracked it for about 500yds through the woods...lost the blood trail rite at the edge of the alphalpha field...40 yds further is corn???? Looked about 50 rows deep in the corn 1/4 mile width no blood...What do you guys thinkl?

Probably got one lung, maybe. Not gonna find much blood though. He may have avioded the corn. I've had hit deer go straight in it and I've had some go around it. If it didn't come out of the corn before you shot it most likely (from my experience) it won't run into the corn. Best option is to do some searches but a single lung deer can go a long ways before they decide to stop. Never know may find it in the corn when it gets combined also. WCL

No I didnt find him...Like I said Im planning on going out this afternoon....Butt it's raining here in Iowa and there wasnt much blood before the corn...Just pin drops and then nothing....Ill just have too hope he went back in the woods cause if hes in the corn it will be like a needle in a hay stack??

same thing happened to my brother on a nice sized doe on Friday, had about 5 inches of penetration. I found the broken arrow and about 4 feet of blood trail before there was no sign of any blood anywhere. I'm thinking she will be just fine, just have a sore shoulder for awhile....as for your deer, he already went 500yds keep searching if you did get a lung he is down, sadly though he might be in the corn especially with it raining
